04 April 2015 First of all, we need to refer sec 139(1) which says who is liable to file a return f income. If the person concerned in this question is liable to file ROI, then he shall be liable to proceedings u/s 271. Also if anyone wishes to file ROI, he can file a belated return not greater than end of one assessment year succeeding the original assessment year. In this case, your assessee should have filed withing the due date I had mentioned. If not, it is a violation of sec 139(4)- belated return. However, you may file a petition for condonation of delay and get the penalty waived.
