Dear All,

There was outstanding demand of Rs. 2500/- for AY 2012-13 shown on income tax site under dashboard, which was paid by the assessee. However now it shows new demand u/s 220(2) of Rs. 425/- uploaded by CPC.

I wish to know how to pay this demand, which challan, whether under interest or penalty, under which minor head - 400?

Kindly guide.

Regards,

Suraj

Its simple interest @ 1% p.m and has to be paid via challan 280 under 400 [Regular Assessment]

S.220(2) If the amount specified in any notice of demand under section 156 is not paid within the period limited under sub-section (1), the assessee shall be liable to pay simple interest at one per cent for every month or part of a month comprised in the period commencing from the day immediately following the end of the period mentioned in sub-section (1) and ending with the day on which the amount is paid

No, its an interest & its compensatory interest (not penal) . For penalty they would have sent You a show cause notice as to why you should not be treated as Assesse in default (there is penalty also for being assesse in default) this one is interest , show it under interest only
