If assessee is not required to file return as per conditions specified under sec. 139(1) of IT act, no late will be charges.

I.e. Gross income should be below exemption limit.

Sec 139(1) is a basic condition.
Assesses lower than exemption limit are not required to file return except otherwise required.

What if the assessee has gross taxable income less than 2.5 lakh and exempt income more than 5 lakh? Will late filing fee be applicable?
