Dear Experts,
1)If a Tax audit client does not file his return before 30th september 2010 for the asst. year 2010-11 accounts, Is it mandatory for the A.O. to levy penalty of Rs. 1,00,000 for non filing of accounts within the due dt.
In other words A.O. has no discretionary power in deciding whether the penalty can be levied or not?
2) A.O. has the right to decide the quantum of penalty amount less than 1 lakh.?
3) Pls. tell me the section on which penalty can be levied?
With regards,
Rajesh.
