26 October 2010 Refer sec.271B. Failure to get audited the accounts or to furnish the report before due date. Penality is 0.5% of the total sales, turnover or gross receipts. But before getting the letter from the department, you may approach and explain the reason. you can avoid penality.

26 October 2010 There is no penalty for filing belated return if the audit is already carried out before the stipulated time period. The only thing is that the return filed belatedly can't be revised and also the losses can't be carried forward which were shown in the belated return.
