The penalty chargeable is 0.5% on the turnover upto a maximum of rs.1 Lac. Here you have to find out what is the exact turnover then you find out the penalty. If still penalty is more thatn rs.1 Lach the officer has to give an opportunity before leving penalty. You can still explain in detail with the proper supporting doucments why there was a delay in getting the audit report. Then you can save that penalty.
