Assessee (a partnership firm) filed his Audit Report in hard copy to Local Income Tax Office on 30.11.2009 for A.Y. 2009-10, But Return of Income could not be filed on 30.11.09 (to be filed e-return). Can he file his R O I now, will it attract any penalty or any other late filing consequences.

As per section 44AB audit report has to be furnished by the specified date. Specified date as per explanation (ii) is 30th September 2009. Thus the assessee has violated the provision of the said section . Consequence is Penalty provisions as per section 271B attracts. If the assessee can prove that the failure was on account of a reasonable cause penalty proposal will be dropped as per section 273B. However he can file the return now after paying tax, if any, along with interest as per section 234A,B and C if applicable.
