Penalty for Non-filing of return of income

Mr.Gopal Kumar Agarwal

The word used in section 271F "may" .. the assessing officer "may " direct direct that such person shall pay, by way of penalty, a sum of five thousand rupees.  The statute has given a discretionary power the assessing officer by using the word "may".  Hence the AO can waive the penalty as the trust is having reasonable cause for not filing the return of income before the due date.
