An NRI taxpayer is facing issues with their updated return for AY 2023-24 using ITR 2, specifically concerning the automatic calculation of interest under Section 234A, B, and C. While the interest calculates correctly for individuals under 60, it's not appearing for senior citizens, despite the form validating. The user is seeking advice on how to rectify this error before filing, as interest is due on the total tax liability.

Interest would be charged over the total tax liability from end of the FY up to the date of filing the updated return. There is no exemption for senior citizen.
