Hi,

An example of 234C Interest payable in case of an individual.

Interest is payable on Assessed tax. Assessed tax means the tax payable after giving effect to Surcharge (if any), Education Cess, Seconday and Higher Education Cess less TDS and Advance tax.

Example attached as well for your reference

Taxable Income	299,000

Tax due there on	14,900
Surcharge	Nil
EC & SHC @ 3%	447

Tax & EC Payable	15,347

Less : TDS	5,000
Advance Tax	2,000

Balance Tax Payable	8,347

Interest U/s 234C	309

Net Tax Payable	8,656

Interest Calculation for Individual & HUF

30% of 8347 @ rate of 1% multiplied by 3 months	75	Sep 08 to Nov 08 - 30% should have been paid on 15th Sep

Mr.Tinku

While calculating interest the sum on which we have to calculate interest has to be rounded off to the nearest hundred rupees by ingnoring the last two digits. If we have to calculate interest on Rs.1,25,135/- we have to round offf the sum to Rs.1,25,100/- only as per the provisions of Rule 119A of Income-tax Rules, 1962.
