21 December 2011 As per section 139(1) every company needs to file its return of income. Only exemption is given to Individual and HUF only if their Gross total income is less than the exempt limit of income. Even in case a company making loss is required to file its return.

Since yours is a company assessee you should definitely file the return. The only consequences i can see is the imposition of penalty of Rs. 5000 for each year of default under section 271F.

No matter your company has started billing in current year.

Hope you are clear
