15 November 2008 Interest @ 1% for every month or part of a month for late filing of return from the cut off date to the date of filing of return. This is as per section 234 A of the income tax act,1961.

15 November 2008 Interest u/s 234A starts on 1.8.08 - so four moths' interest is to be paid at 1% - this works out to Rs 1400[350 x 4 ]
similarly Interest u/s 234 B is is 1% for 8 months ie from April to November
this works out to Rs 2800 [ 350 x 8 ]
So total interest due is Rs 4200/-
Please note that no fine is impossable for this delay - fine is attracted only if filing date is beyond 31.3.09 - ie the last day of te Assessment year
