31 August 2019 Thank you sirs for your quick response.For being more clear, pl confirm --
Mr A's taxable income is Rs. 3,20,000 and his deductions under chapter VIA are Rs. 90,000. In this case Mr A will have to pay Rs. 1,000 as penalty if he files return after due date.
And if his taxable income is Rs. 2,39,000 and his deductions under chapter VIA are Rs. 20,000, he is not liable to pay any penalty.
