    <title>Penalty u/s 270A(9) quashed as disclosed mutual fund income wrongly classified as capital gains, not misreported income</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=94599</link>
    <description>ITAT allowed the appeal of the assessee and deleted the penalty imposed u/s 270A(9) of the Act. ITAT held that the income from surrender/redemption of the Bajaj Equity Plus Fund had been duly disclosed in the return, though under the incorrect head &quot;Capital Gains&quot; instead of &quot;Income from Other Sources.&quot; As there was no misrepresentation, suppression of facts, or failure to report income, the case did not fall within any of the clauses (a) to (f) of s. 270A(9), which govern &quot;under-reporting&quot; and &quot;misreporting&quot; of income. Relying on its earlier view that mere change of head of income does not attract penalty, ITAT cancelled the penalty and decided in favour of the assessee.</description>
