02 February 2012 The enhanced penalty is for the financial period 2011-12.

This does not have restrospective effect.

For the preivious period it will be Rs. 2000/- for half yearly returns

Penalty is one time for every half yearly return not filed so in a financial year the penalty would be 4000/- per year
