02 August 2025 Here’s a clear explanation regarding **Section 271F** and how you can reply to a show cause notice issued under this section:

---

### What is Section 271F?

* **Section 271F** deals with **penalty for failure to file income tax return (ITR) within the prescribed time** under Section 139(1).
* If you **fail to file your ITR within the due date**, a penalty of **₹5,000** can be imposed by the Assessing Officer (AO).
* This section is specifically for **delay in filing the return** (not for non-filing).

---

### When you get a show cause notice under Section 271F:

* The tax department sends a notice asking **why penalty should not be imposed for late filing** of your return.
* Usually, this happens if you filed your ITR **after the due date** but before any action like scrutiny.

---

### How to reply to a show cause notice u/s 271F:

1. **Acknowledge the delay** in filing the return.
2. **Explain reasons for delay**, if any valid reason exists (like illness, unavoidable circumstances).
3. **Assure compliance in future** and request the AO to kindly waive or reduce the penalty as it is your first delay.
4. If you have already paid the penalty or are willing to pay, mention that.
5. If delay was minimal or circumstances genuine, politely request for waiver.
