Late fees for loss making firm.

For FY 2020-2, I have filed belated ITR for a firm which has incurred loss.

At the time of filing the late fee u.sec 234F were not asked to pay in ITR.. (I thought it is correct since the income is less than Basic exemption limit)

later in intimation dept asked to pay late fee of Rs. 1000..

how to proceed.. kindly advice experts..

Quick Summary
A user filed a belated Income Tax Return (ITR) for a loss-making firm for FY 2020-2. Initially, no late fee under Section 234F was requested during filing, as the user believed it wasn't applicable due to the loss being below the basic exemption limit. However, the department later issued an intimation demanding a Rs. 1000 late fee. The discussion explores whether the fee is applicable and how to address the demand, with advice suggesting payment as per the intimation and clarifying that firms are compulsorily required to file ITRs regardless of income level.

Pay the fees as per the intimation. The procedure will be there in the intimation.

As per Sec 139(1)(a), a firm is compulsorily required to file the ITR irrespective of basic exemption limit.
As per Sec 234F late fee is to be charged if return is not filed within due date as required by sec 139(1). Since the belated return is filed by the firm, late fee will be applicable.
No late fee will be charged as you declare loss, so go for rectification .
