YES.AFTER 31 ST MARCH 2008, THE IT RETURN OF 06-07 FIN. YEAR CAN BE FILED WITH PENALTY . BUT USUALLY NO INDIVIDUAL ASSESSEE ATTCHES PENALTY PAYMENT WITH BELATED RETURN. SO ONE CAN FILE BELATED RERURN , AND THE ASSESSING OFFICER (IF AND WHEN ) ISSUES NOTICE FOR PENALTY , A SUITABLE EXPLANATORY STATEMENT IS GIVEN BY THE ASSESSEE AS TO WHY THE RERURN COULD NOT BE FILED IN TIME. THEREAFTER THE REFUND PROCESS STARTS. R.V.RAO
