Sec. 139(1) requires filing of return if income without giving exemption u/s 10 exceeds exemption limit. However, assessee can file voluntary return & it can be belated. You may note that there will not be any penalty u/s. 271F. The said section imposes penalty of Rs. 5000 if the return was required to be filed u/s. 139(1) & it is not filed. It does not apply to voluntary return.
