234F late fee may be deducted from refund and general penalties will be applicable for violation of law for non filing ITR

If the assessee was not liable to file return u/s 139 at that time, then there shall be no penalty u/s 148

Generally , the dept obtains information from various sources and they the notice only if the tax payer liable to file ITR

Sir, in many cases, Dept gets wrong information such as huge cash amount deposited into bank account and etc

but only cash deposits made by the assessee does not mean that the assessee had income liable for tax and he was liable to file the ITR.

The case is of non filer of ITR and the final computation comes to a refund. Apart from late filing fees leviable, are there any other penalty which can be levied to the assessee
