Late Filing Fee Under Section 234F

The amount of late filing fee under Section 234F depends on your total income and the filing date. Here’s how it works:

Income > Rs. 5 Lakhs

If your total income exceeds Rs. 5 Lakhs and you file your return after the due date, you will be charged a penalty of Rs. 5000.

Income ≤ Rs. 5 Lakhs

If your total income is less than or equal to Rs. 5 Lakhs and you file your return after the due date, the penalty is Rs. 1000.

Income Below the Exemption Limit

If your total income does not exceed the exemption limit (Rs. 2.5 Lakhs for individuals below 60 years), no late filing fees are applicable.
