25 May 2009 I have an additional liability to pay taxes for fy 2008-09. I want to know if I have to pay penalty under 234(b) for non payment of advance tax.

Some places I have read that if I pay the advance tax before filing my return by due date I dont have to pay the penalty ?

Some places mention as I hve not paid the advance tax by march 2009, I have to pay the interest u/s 234(b) @1% per month starting from April 2009 until I pay the advance tax ?

Pl help me understand
