This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a client who received a notice under Section 148 for failing to file their Income Tax Return for Assessment Year 2015-16. The primary concern is understanding the necessary compliances beyond filing the return and paying tax/interest, and whether a penalty is applicable. The response clarifies that penalties are indeed applicable and details them under Sections 234A (interest for late filing), 271H (failure to file TDS/TCS returns), and 270A (under-reporting income or failure to file). The penalty under Section 270A is specified as 50% of the tax payable on the undisclosed income.

28 May 2022 Dear Sir,

One of my client has received notice U/s 148 for Non filing of return for AY 2015-16 for which I am now filing her return in reply to the notice.

My query is apart from filing the return and paying applicable tax and interest do I need to do any other compliance regarding this. Will there be any penalty for return not filed earlier.

Please help me in this matter.

Regards,
Divyesh Jain
