Assessee has not filed the return of Income for AY 2018-19 against which he had received notice under section 148.

On Filing the return of income u/s 148 the assessee is claiming a refund.

We wanted to know the penalty which can be levied by the AO if there is a refund.

Thanking you.

234F late fee may be deducted from refund and general penalties will be applicable for violation of law for non filing ITR
If the assessee was not liable to file return u/s 139 at that time, then there shall be no penalty u/s 148
Generally , the dept obtains information from various sources and they the notice only if the tax payer liable to file ITR
Sir, in many cases, Dept gets wrong information such as huge cash amount deposited into bank account and etc


but only cash deposits made by the assessee does not mean that the assessee had income liable for tax and he was liable to file the ITR.
Yeah. Possibility is there but tax database has lot of information..One can check it from 26ASand AIR ,
The case is of non filer of ITR and the final computation comes to a refund. Apart from late filing fees leviable, are there any other penalty which can be levied to the assessee
How much is the total income ?
25 lacs
Section 270A and 234F , these may come into picture
270 A even though when there is no tax liability?
Since you have not filed ITR , the total income may come under ,,, unreported or underreported income and 270A may be induced by officer
If the assesse has not filed return under Sec 148 I.e. a revised return . Demand have been paid fully. Now in case the id is blocked what is the remedy.
