22 February 2015 Also take note for Penalty u/s 271F.

If the belated return (For AY 2013-14) is filed on or before 31.03.2014 there will be no penalty. If return is filed between 01.04.2014 to 31.03.2015 then the penalty of Rs 5000/- may be imposed by AO u/s 271F. Rs 5000/- is the maximum penalty. Penalty may be imposed if the assessee was required to file return u/s 139(1), if the assessee was not required to filed the return u/s 139(1) but submits the return voluntarily then no penalty will be imposed by AO. Penalty can be imposed by AO after giving assessee a reasonable opportunity of being heard.

Section 271F: If a person who is required to furnish a return of his income, as required under sub-section (1) of section 139 or by the provisos to that sub-section, fails to furnish such return before the end of the relevant assessment year, the Assessing Officer may direct that such person shall pay, by way of penalty, a sum of five thousand rupees.
