Since A's total income exceeds basic exemption limit he has to file return as per section 139(1). If he didnt file return with in the due date then he will be liable to pay penalty as per 234F. So He has to pay a fee of 1000 rs. since his total income is less than 500000
My opinion is simple bro, if persons income before taking any deductions and exemptions exceeds basic exemption limit then that person has to file return. If he fails to file return then 234F applicable which depends on total income i.e taxable income.
139(1) Calculation : Total income (Taxable) + Deductions + Exemptions (10A/10b/10BA)
234F calculation : Total Income (Taxble Income)
