01 August 2014 Can ITR for assessment year 2013-14 be filed now? There is some refund due, but I forgot to efile my Return. Will there be any penalty for late filing?

01 August 2014 Yes you can file the Return of income for AY 2013-14 until 31/03/2015. You have to pay the penalty for filing of late return which is 5000 and in most of cases ITD is adjusting this penalty against the refund.

01 August 2014 Yes you can file belated return u/s 139 (4) upto 31.03.2015 or date of assessment whichever is earlier subject to a maximum penalty of Rs 5000 u/s 271F. Levy of penalty is at the discretion of AO after giving assessee a reasonable opportunity of being heard. He may or may not impose the penalty. No need to pay penalty at the time of filing of return.

04 August 2014 @sanjay Ji, In my case the AO has adjusted penalty with refund without notice. Notice for penalty for late filling is not normally served.

04 August 2014 Umesh Ji you should contest that. Section 271F is pretty clear on this. Assessee should be given an opportunity of being heard.

04 August 2014 But Umesh Ji, refund is issued by CPC then how can AO adjust the penalty against refund. Your case must be old one prior to CPC era.
