The ITAT deleted the penalty for Assessment Year 2010-2011 on the ground that estimated additions alone do not justify penalty. For Assessment Year 2011-2012, the appellate order sustaining penalty was set aside because the assessee's submissions had not been considered; the matter was remanded for fresh adjudication after giving reasonable opportunity and addressing the material placed on record. en-us Tue, 12 May 2026 08:50:36 +0530 Tue, 12 May 2026 08:50:38 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator Estimated bogus purchase additions cannot by themselves sustain concealment penalty; non-considered submissions required remand. https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=99689 Penalty under Section 271(1)(c) was held unsustainable where the underlying quantum addition for alleged bogus purchases represented only an estimated profit element and not a definite, proved concealment.
