11 June 2013 Income tax return can be filed now. Penalty proceedings can be initiated u/s 271B. If so, seek relief u/s 273B by showing a reasonable cause for the failure to file return in time.

11 June 2013 For failure to file return on or before 31 March 2012 (in this case)penalty attracts u/s. 271F but not u/s. 271B.
If the audit is completed and report is signed by auditor before due date prescribed u/s. 139(1), no penalty will attract u/s. 271B.
