Penalty for late filling of Return

 An assessee, who is liable to audit U/s 44AB, get his accounts audit before the due date (i.e. 30th Sep) but does no file his return before the due date. 

Will he be liable to penalty of 0.5% of turnover or Rs. 100000/- whichever is lower. Or he will be charged only U/s 234A.

Thanks

Dear all,

Penalty of lower of 0.5% or Rs.1.00 lakh is leviable in case the assessee does not file the tax audit report (and not return) within the time limit.  It is is important to note that this penalty is not mandatory but is discretionery.  If circumstances are beyond the control, the assessee can ask for non-levy of penalty. 

Section 271B speaks of levy of penalty if either 1) accounts are not audited or 2) report is not filed.  I fail to understand how an assessee can file the report of audit without getting his books audited (Issue of report implies that the books are audited).  Hence, I believe if the report is not filed, then officer may demand for penalty.
