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 ??
