Hi,
Since the ROI has not been filed within the prescribed time limits of Section 139(1) of the Act, following penalties might attract in the instant case --
1) Section 271F - AO may direct the company to pay a sum of Rs. 5,000 by way of penalty.
2) Section 276CC - Prosecution section in case of failure to furnish returns of income
Also, for your information, w.e.f. AY 18-19 - Section 234F ( Fee for default in furnishing ROI - Rs. 5,000 uptill 31st Dec and Rs. 10,000 in any other case) will be applicable in such cases.
Hope this helps.
