Hi,

My uncle will file has AY08-09 return in few days. It turns out that he has tax to be paid for that year.

Few questions:

1. Along with tax, is there any penalty to be paid for late payment of tax?

2. Can he file his AY08-09 return thru E-filing? Or does he have to file at his local Income tax department?

Please let me know.
