First of all, you have to declare your total income. Than ITO will impose 10% of your total income as tax liability in case of no justification from your end else it will not exceed as per your previous returns.
272(d) fails to comply with the provisions of section 139A, he shall pay, by way of penalty, a sum which shall not be less than five hundred rupees but which may extend to ten thousand rupees for each such default or failure.

The question has been wrongly understood by Mr. Venkateshwar Rao Though you got the TAN, you are responsible for filing quarterly TDS Return irrespective of the the fact that you have not deducted any tax. It is a technical fault and as decided by the Supreme Court Hindusthan Co, no penalty is liable for technical and venial breach of law.
