There may be no penalty;Still Section 234A-Interest for default in late furnishing of return applies.
If the return of income is furnished after the due date,ie, July 31, the assessee is liable to pay simple interest @ 1% per month or part of month.

Dear Ankush,
Nice & interesting question. On an overview it appears meaning less & confusing however over a period of time you will observe the advantage of filing return in time. The consequences or disadvantage of submission of return after due date are as follow:
1. The assessee will be liable for penal interest under section 234A.
2. A penalty of Rs 5,000 may be imposed under section 271 F if belated return is submitted after the end of the assessment year.
3. If the return of loss is submitted after the due date, a few losses cannot be carried forward.
4. If the return is submitted belated, deductions allowable under certain sections will not be available.
I can understand ur query is geniune and it really a nice thing to keep ur thinking cap on when ur studying.
Warm regards
