19 April 2016 As per Section 139(4) of IT Act, 1961, you can file your return upto 31.3.2017 with penalty of Rs. 5000/-. At the time of filling you won't be required to pay this Rs. 5000 as penalty for late filling of income tax return. However in case you receive a notice from income tax officer, you would be required to pay Rs. 5000/- for late filling of return. However income tax officer can waive this penalty in case of any genuine reason showed for late filling of return.
