Appreciation - IT dept & query on refund

355 views 13 replies

First of all I must really appreciate the speed with which IT dept processed my Aunt's ITR1. There was a refund and the ITR has been processed within 4 days of filing and intimation received today. I am happy that systems are finally efficient!

The refund amt matches our filing data but they have shown interest of 174 Rs paid by IT dept which is actually added to the refund.

So from which date is this interest calculated? If ITR is processed within 4 days then just for 4 days interest can  not be 174, I guess? 

Do you have any idea? Thank you.

Interest on IT Refund may be given from the beginning of Assessment Year to till the date of generation of intimation.

Is it 6% PA? because then for 3 months (Apr - Jun) it comes to around 175 and tallies.

It's 0.5% per month . Per annum 6%
6% p.a from the date of payment to refund.

@ CA Rashmi Gandhi  Thanks

What is  date of payment? Is it  start of financial year? because only then 175 interest amount matches to the refund amount which is abt 11K.

 

Interest is from 01 April 2022 to Date of Refund.

Thank you very much. It's clear now.

Welcome Dear.....
An amendment has inserted to Section 244A. Need to check the applicability. They may give interest in future from the date of filing and not from the beginning of AY

OK all right. For now  they seem to have given from 1-apr-22. 6% interest  and calculations nearly match.

 

Yeah . That will be fine
The rule is from calculating interest on refund is from 01 day of assessment year
👍🏻👍🏻
