    <title>Tax Penalty Canceled: Salaried Employee Wins Appeal After Proving Genuine Mistake in Income Reporting Under Section 270A(9)(a)</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=87355</link>
    <description>ITAT held that penalty u/s 270A(9)(a) for under-reporting of income is deleted. The appellant, a salaried employee, demonstrated a bona fide mistake by relying on tax representative&#039;s advice and TDS portal figures. Given the taxpayer&#039;s full tax payment, reliance on official portal data, and genuine error, the tribunal found no intentional misreporting. The 200% penalty initially imposed by the Assessing Officer was consequently nullified, with the decision rendered in favor of the assessee based on mitigating circumstances.</description>
