Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Section 234F, concerning late filing fees for Income Tax Returns (ITR), applies to individuals with substantial agricultural income. While agricultural income is generally exempt from tax, the consensus is that if the total income (after exemptions) does not exceed the maximum amount chargeable to tax, no penalty under Section 234F should be attracted, even if the return is filed late. However, if the return is filed after the due date, a nominal penalty of Rs. 1000 might still apply in certain interpretations, irrespective of the income amount.

Yes, for filing ITR 234f will be attracted
But as per 234f if total income exceeds maximum amount chargeable to tax then he is liable to pay penalty under 234f. but in my case whole income is exempt.
234 F will not attract.
I think, if total income is upto 5 lakh then there Rs. 1000 penalty. In your case the total income is 0, but still if you file the return after due date penalty of 1000 will be attracted

If a Person has 10 Lakh (or let's say 1 Crore) Agriculture income and it is the only income of A.Y 19-20. And if now, you file ITR of A.Y 19-20, than ther is "NO LATE FEE" u/s 234F as your total income is Exempt from tax...
Thank u @ sagar patel
Most welcome.......

As per section 234F of the Income-tax Act, taxpayers must pay a penalty for delay in filing ITR. In simple words, if you fail to file your tax returns within the deadline for the current year i.e., 31st of December, you might end up paying up to INR 5,000 as penalties.
