Quick Summary
If your taxable income exceeds £2.5 lakhs and you haven't filed your Income Tax Return (ITR), you could face late fees. For AY 2019-2020, you can still file before 31st March with a late fee of £1,000 or £10,000, depending on your total income. While there isn't a direct penalty section for non-filing, if your case is opened for assessment under Section 148, you might incur these late fees plus potential penalties under Section 270A for misreporting income.

What is reason for delay ?

For AY 2019-2020 , you can File it before 31st March with late fee under 234F of 1000 or 10000 depending upon total income
As on now there's no specific section to levy penalty for not filing ITR but if case opened for assessment under section 148, then you may have to pay late fees of rs. 1000 or 10000 as the case may be, in addition to penalty under section 270A, subject to conditions
You can't call it as penalty.Its late fee.

Below 5lacs income -Late fee will be Rs.1000/-

Above 5lacs -10000/- for AY-2019-20 since December deadline got over

What does ----Under-reported income is in consequence of any misreporting thereof --- means when the section 270A is explained?

Can you please cite some examples to explain what Under-reported income is in consequence of any misreporting thereof  it means?

If dept finds under reporting in the ITR filed.

But it's not applicable to you since you have not filed ITR
This seems to be a hypothetical academic type query.
