Late filing of ITR from due date

Penalty of Rs. 5,000 in respect of each year may be imposed by AO u/s 271F

I heard it is on the discretion of AO...wot are the chances that he will be fined for such small return...his income is just 1.2 lacs...

it can be submitted with prior permission of AO only, so if the grounds are found reasonable at assessment stage then AO will relax, but the maximum limit is stipulated u/s 271

sory i m late join to this discussion forum but according IT act, 1961 the penalty is imposed if there is any tax liabilty in case there is no tax liability there will be no penalty imposed on the assessee  even if he is filing belated return
