I want to file a return for F/Y 2008-09. Its of professional services with TDS of Rs. 15000/- and total income of Rs. 150000/- only. I know there is penalty of Rs 5000/-. My query is: 1. Any other intt or penalty? 2. Do i have to pay the interest saperately or it will be adjusted from refund? Also if to be paid, manner & form for payment?

For F. Y. 2008 - 09 if return is not filed upto 31.03.2010 then only penalty can be levied not otherwise. So even if the return is filed before 31.03.2010 no penalty u/s 271F.
So file immediately.
Interest will be payable only if there is any taxes payable. Since you are having refund no interest also payable.

good reply. you don't need to pay any penalty even if your return is still pending. but if you have not filled your return before 31.03.2010 then penalty can be levied in case of taxable income.. if your filed your early your refund will also come faster.. so don't hesitate. confidentially filed your return.. ok
any problem then raised your que. again.. don't worry.

Fy 2008-09 can file upto 2011 march, 2 years can file the returns from 2009. still then no need to pay penalty only should pay interest.
