Late fee as per sec 234F...
Audit Filing late fee of .5% or 1.5 lacs whichever is lower will not be charge???
Late fee for late filing of return depend upon taxable income (under 234F)

a. 1000 if taxable income < 5 lakhs
b. 5000 if > 5 lakhs upto 31st Dec
c. 10000 if > 5 lakhs upto 31st March 2020

Gross Total income upto basic threshold then no late fee .

2) penalty under 44AB for late filing of Audit report is 0.5% of turnover or Gross receipts - subject to a maximum of Rs 150000/-

(but here no penalty as audit reports were uploaded.)
