Form 29B not filed, and return processed

Although the ITR 6 has been processed and a refund received, it's essential to address the oversight and file Form 29B (MAT audit report) as soon as possible.

Here's why: 

1. Non-filing of Form 29B is a deficiency in compliance, which may attract scrutiny. 

2. The company has already received a refund, but the department may reopen the assessment if they notice the non-filing.

 3. Filing Form 29B now will help avoid any potential repercussions or penalties. To minimize potential repercussions:

1. File Form 29B as soon as possible, explaining the reason for the delay in a covering letter. 

2. Be prepared to respond to any notices or queries from the department. 

3. Ensure that the company's financials and records are in order, in case of a scrutiny or audit. 

 Remember, it's always better to address the oversight promptly and transparently to avoid any complications.

Thanks Sir for the prompt response.

The company is a small company, 

Form 29b can only be e-filed, as no option to file offline available here.

At time of online filing ITR 6, an alert was generated that form 29B not filed even though MAT tax being paid, this may result in non processing of return or non processing of refund. The client pressed back button in his software but somehow the return was submitted....

Can you please let me know late fee / penalty applicable in this case due to late filing 29B ? 

I do know that forgetting to file by clerical error is no reason for late filing.... 

I was just wondering if we don't file this from 29b now, then late fee or penalty would be saved ....

Please can anyone let me know exact section of IT Act under which late fee / penalty can be levied for late filing MAT audit report after due date ? 

And quantum of late fee / penalty, as I can not find it in the Act...

Please help
