sir, I have filled my I.T.Return for Asst Yr. 2009-10 within the Due Date and the Self Asst.Tax which was payable not paid at the time of Return Filling .Further The Tax which was due has been Paid after one month.Now The case is under scruitiny and asst proceedings are going on. My querry is that whether any penalty will attaract for the delay payment of Self AsstTax i.e after the filling of Return.
The assessing officer can initiate penalty proceeding u/s 221 of the I. T Act,1961 under which he / she can impose penalty up to the extent of tax due.
