Interest u/s 244A is at .05% per month or part of the month from the 1st day april of the assessment year till the date of refund, if the refund is due to TDS and Advance Tax. In the above case, it is clear that interest has not been given correctly so, file a letter to the AO seeking the rectification of order.
