20 February 2020 If a company is incorporated on 31/10/2018 and file its Return of Income within due date, then whether Interest u/s 234B & 234C of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is required to be calculated only for 5 months or from the beginning of the Financial year.i.e from 01/04/2018.

20 February 2020 Sir can you please suggest any case law on that issue which averred that Interest would be levied from 31.10.2018 & not from 1st April

21 February 2020 No need of case law because

* 234B is charged from 1-4-2019 (not from 1-4-2018) Please see subsection (1).

* 244C counts from 1-10-2018. Please see 1st proviso to the section.
