Quick Summary
This discussion explores the validity of charging a fee under Section 234F of the Income Tax Act. The core issue revolves around whether the fee is applicable when an initial return is filed within the due date but later becomes defective and subsequently revised. Opinions vary, with some arguing that a defective return is treated as no return filed, justifying the fee, while others contend that a valid revised return supersedes the original and invalidates the fee.

No....
No, just file for rectification...your demand will be abolished
No, fees cannot be charged
No it is not correct
Did you everify your first return ? if not then late fee is right
It was everified and was made deffective
u/s 139(9). Before passing the order I revised U/S 139(5).

Defective return means no return filed. So revised return will be considered original return and penalty charged rightly

Defective return means no return filed. So revised return will be considered original return and penalty charged rightly

Defective return should be rectified within time limit mention in return..if not then it will be treated as "no return file". If seems you have filed late return i.e after due date mentioned in defective return. Therefore, late fees applied . 

No. penalty can't charge if it is revised later on.
No.. they can't charge
No....
No...
