Penalty u/s 271F


This query is : Resolved 

15 March 2009 Hi,

For non filing of return, according to sec 271F there is a penalty of Rs. 5000 /-, but I have heard that the same has not been levied on any one inspite of late filing of returns.

Please confirm if i am correct & let me know if the ITO needs to take any prior permission before levying the same.

Thanks
Altaf
