No... Penalty not levied if income less than 2.5 lakhs.
sec 234F is levied to who is required filings u/s 139(1) of IT act.

If under 139(1) not required to file then don't file and so no 234F late fee.
But if you still want to file even though not required then late fee penalty is 1000 upto a taxable income of RS 5 lakhs.
This is the interpretation ITax department considers
