Form 16 delay led to ITR non-filing and ₹3.74 lakh penalty: How a salaried employee won his case

A salaried employee’s failure to file his ITR after switching jobs led to a ₹3.74 lakh penalty, even though the TDS deducted by his employers was reflected in Form 26AS. ITAT Delhi later deleted the penalty, holding that there was no under-reporting of income where the income declared was accepted and there was no misrepresentation or suppression of facts.
