Income tax audit


15 March 2012 A person having sales of Rs.20 Lacs has a loss of Rs.2 Lacs for the AY 11-12..

He can either show a profit of Rs.1.6 Lacs (8% of 20 Lacs)or get his accounts audited and claim the actual loss.. This loss will be set off against other business incomes he has.. His net income after set off of this loss will be Rs.3 Lacs..

Query :
For AY 11-12, can this person file the return today.. This will be a belated return.. Will it attract any fines/penalties ??
If yes, then how much ??

15 March 2012 If you file the return on or before 31.03.2012 then there will be no penalty.

You can alos file the return AFTER 31.3.2012 but BEFORE 31.3.2013. However, in this case, penalty of Rs. 5,000/- may be levied.

15 March 2012 Thank you sir..
Could you please provide me some case law/ board circular/ bare act text to support your views..
I'm planning to file the return before 31.03.2012..


21 March 2012 Section 271F provides for penalty for delayed filing of income tax return.

21 March 2012 Wouldnt there be any penalty for late filing of an audit return ?
.5% of sales is the amount of penalty I think..
