08 February 2017 Dear Binu,
An assessee is required to furnish income tax return withing due dated as mentioned u/s 139 (1) of the taxable income of the assessee exceed the threshold basic exemption limit. In your case, if the only income is 14000 Salary per month, than annual income is 168000 which is below the taxable limit of Rs. 2,50,000/-
Now, if your friend wants to file income tax return voluntarily, he can file the ITR - 1 (if only salary and income from other sources) online. However, returned to be filed u/s 139(4) and such return is treated as belated return.
If belated return is filed within 31/03/2017, no penalty is been levied.

Thanks
