what is Section 271F?

This query is : Resolved 

01 April 2008 Dear all,
Please give provisions of Section 271F of Income tax Act.

Thanking you.

01 April 2008 As per provisions of Sectin 139(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, every person whose total income exceeds the maximum amount, which is not chargeable to income tax, shall by the due date, file his return of income in prescribed form. Failure to do so by the due date or before the end of relevant assessment year will attract penalty under Section 271'F of IT Act 1961, amounting to Rs. 5000/-.

01 April 2008 Thank you dear.
I have still doubt that if a person files return for A.Y.2007-08 after 31-03-2008, will penalty under Section 271F leived or not?
Kindly give reply.
Thanking you

21 September 2008 YES. PENALTY CAN BE LEVIED U/S 271F.

27 March 2010 If the Gross Total income is below the exempted limit, return can still be filed after the end of relevent A.Y. without attracting section 271F

29 April 2010 U/S section 271F the powers given to the assessing officers are discretionary, not mandatory, So in the case if the income is above taxable limit, the return filed after 31.03.08 for AY 2007-08, The AO may levy the penalty of sum mentioned above.

03 June 2010 agree with the experts

13 February 2013 If return filed after due date, but before date of limitation, I.e. Due date 31/07/2008 filed on29/03/2009, and it is a return of refund of info.e tax, can the penalty be levied, if assessment hadalreadybeen done or refund received?

24 September 2014 but penalty is only Rs.5000/-
