Consequence of not filing ITR

I have a basic question -- apart from the late fees that are required under Section 234F (i.e. Rs 10000), are there any other consequences if one doesn't file their ITR? This is of course assuming that the taxpayer has paid all required taxes (TDS included) already on time.

Yes there are other consequences

fore most of them is being subjected to Best Judgement U/s 144. The A.O will proceed with information with him

If by chance if you have made any cash deposits in bank,they may also be treated as unexplained deposits U/s 69A. Hence depending up on your activities importance of filing I.T.R plays a significant role. 

Department can raise Outstanding Demand with penalty & interest in future if any one doesn't file their ITR and income is taxable.

As said by Mr keerthi, 144 assessments may be made but before that you will be given an opportunity to file your roi by issuing 142(1) notice or 148 notice.
