As per the changed rules which came into effect from April 1, 2017, filing your ITR post the deadline of August 31, 2018, can make you liable to pay a maximum penalty of Rs 10,000. To break this down; if you file post 31st August but before December of this year (i.e. 2018), a penalty of Rs 5,000 will be levied. For returns filed after December 2018, penalty limit will be increased to Rs 10,000. However, as a relief to small taxpayers, the IT department has stated that if your total income is not more than Rs 5 lakh, the maximum penalty levied for delay will only be Rs 1,000.

Late Filing Fee Details
E- Filing Date Total income Below Rs 5,00,000 Total income Above Rs 5,00,000
31st August 2018 Rs 0 Rs 0
Between 1st Sep 18 to 31 st Dec 18 Rs 1,000 Rs 5,000
Between 1st Jan 19 to 31st March 19 Rs 1,000 Rs 10,000
yes... but it's not penalty but late fee
