It is very simple to remember (forget about the provisions of law)
In current Financial year a person can file returns of last 2 financial years.
Like for eg. on 30-03-2010, you can file returns for last 2 F.Y: 2008-2009 & 2007-2008
similarly on 5-5-2010, you can file returns of last 2 F.Y: 2008-2009 & 2009-2010.
And Akshay you do not have to pay the penalty of Rs. 5,000/- While Filing returns for P.Y 2008-2009
it is leviable/ payable only if the A.O. passess an order, which is still a rare possibility.
