1. Substituted by the Finance Act, 2002, w.e.f. 1-6-2002. Prior to its substitution, section 271F, as inserted by the Finance Act, 1997, w.e.f. 1-4-1997, substituted by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1998, w.e.f. 1-4-1999 and later on amended by the Finance Act, 2001, w.e.f. 1-6-2001, read as under :

"271F. Penalty for failure to furnish return of income.—If a person who is required to furnish a return of his income, as required under sub-section (1) of section 139, fails to furnish such return before the end of the relevant assessment year, he shall be liable to pay, by way of penalty, a sum of five thousand rupees :

Such penatly is not for tax payable or any liablity. It is for late filing of return.
If some amount is payable also then Interest u/s 234A/B & C will also apply.
