Return of income for the Asst. year 2016-17 carry loss of Rs. 10lakh , which was filed after due date of filing return of income U/S. 139. Also Next asst. year return of income this loss was not b/f due to late filing of return. In scrutiny case no any addition made but loss not c/f as per return filed late (considering section 80 as well as u/s 139(3)) and levied penalty u/S. 271(1) (c) for incorrect information of loss c/f . My question is officer is correct in his view Or merely making a claim, which is not sustainable in law, by itself, will not amount to furnishing of inaccurate particulars regarding the income of the assessee.& no penalty can be levied on the same. If possible share your view & case laws of such situation.
