I HAVE DEPOSITED 15G & 15H TO IT OFFICE ON 5/4/2013. MY CA IS TELLING I AM LIABLE TO PAY PENALTY SINCE I HAVE MADE ENTRY OF FORM 15G & 15H received on 31/3/2013 for non deduction of tds.WHAT SHOULD I DO? How much penalty should i have to pay in case of penalty?

Your CA must have told about the amount of penalty, if not ask him the amount and show your readiness to pay. . The maximum penalty which can be levied is up to the amount of tax deductible. . Since 15G&H were duly deposited by you,for all such cases, tax deductible comes to 0, which is the maximum penalty also. Can you pay Rs. 0 as penalty ? No. .
