No. Request to pardon off penalty based on inability to perform the act even after best effort.
"In case of penalty proceedings, file explanation regarding the stand taken by the assessee and demonstrate how the same, though not accepted by the Revenue, was bona fide. The sustainability of penalty under section 271(1)(c) of the Act, to a large extent, depends on the explanation of the assessee and its substantiation – Refer Explanation 1 to section 271(1)(iii) of the Act."
