If panelty has to pay, where we have to pay all the panelty from which challan ? if its ch.280 or other ?
1st it is not clear from your question that your return is for firm or for individual/HUF.
If your return for status individual and you have not taxable income, then it is not compulsary for you to file your return u/s 139(1). Howevevr, if you have taxable income for that year, it is adviseble to file your return with payment of tax, evenif, it is belated. The department will issue a notice u/s 147 to you and assessed your income according to 147. The AO may charge penalty of Rs. 5000 if he think fit.
In the case of firm it is compulsary to file the return u/s 139(1), you file your return, evenif belated.
