Filing of Return

No penalty if no tax is payable...

moreover the income tax department does not accept late returns through electronic filing.

and if you go to the ITD personally then i dont think they will accept if the income is lesser than the taxable limit.

You have time to file ROI for the following AY:-

AY 2011-2012 (ie for the FY which is just ended on 31-03-2011) without any int & penalty, upto 31st July 2011

AY 2010-2011 (is for the FY 2009-2010) - if tax payable is Nil - No Interest but there will be levy of penalty of Rs. 5000, upto 31st March, 2012. if there is tax liability, Int will be levied @ 1% pm or part thereof on amount of tax due from 3oth July till the end of month in which you are going to file ROI...

but why you need to file ROI...??

you dont have taxable income., so I will advice you to file only for CY... :)

I would like to modify my ans....

SInce you doesnt have tax liability, there will be no Penalty of Rs. 5000...

u can file the returns last 2 years if ur client not exceeds the maximum amount not chargeable to  tax

for financial year 2008-09 & 2009-10 u can file within basic exemption

then u can file financial year 2010-11 as usual within due date
