The last date for filing return is one year from the end of the assessment year. i.e for PY 2008-09, returns can be filed up to 31.03.2011 but to avoid applicability of clause 271 F i.e penalty, return should be filed up to 31.03.10.
Though never heard of charging of penalty if filed late, but avoid taking chance and file it today by online mode or paper return.
