Thank you

15 July 2011 When the TDS return is filed after the due date, you attract penalty under section 272A(2)(1).
The penalty shall be Rs. 100, for each day of delay, subject to the maxium of tax deducted.
But before passing any order imposing penalty, the department is bound to provide us an opportunity to explain our position.

so you can go ahead filing the return & respond with penalty or reply...whenever a query will be raised by the IT deptt.
