07 February 2011 I had not filed my return for FY ended 31st March 2010. I have paid more tax than required and tax is refundable to me as per form 16 issued by my employer.

Pls advise if I can file return now. Will there be any penalty for not filing return in time.

Thanks

07 February 2011 You can file belated return.Time for filing belated return is one year from the end of assessment year relating to a financial year.Since no tax is payable interest u/s 234A is nil.But as per Section 271F: If a person who is required to furnish a Return of Income (ROI) as per section 139(1), fails to furnish such ROI by the end of the relevant Assessment Year, then such person will be levied a penalty of Rs. 5,000/-.
