The Tribunal found that the assessee's error in claiming excess deduction was a result of a clerical mistake, not intentional concealment of income. Citing the Supreme Court precedent, the High Court emphasized the need for fair and objective imposition of penalties, ruling that the misplacement of decimals did not constitute concealment.
