Certain doubt- u/s.234 A

If Tax Payable amout is above Rs.1 lac then 234A attracts, since the original date for ITR of tax audit was 31st October the interest will be calculated for 3 months (Nov- January)

They only extended the date to file the return (because of their own continuing failure of a portal rollout).

But the tax payment dates were not changed.

If Tax Payable amout is above Rs.1 lac then u have to Pay SA tax before original due date i.e 31st October, otherwise 234A interest livable

But sir. 234A attracts only when if the return is filed only after due date, but I filed the ROI well within the time ie. before 31st December 2021.

As per Extension notification, It is clarified that the extension of the dates shall not apply to Explanation 1 to section 234A of the Act, in cases where the amount of tax on the total income as reduced by the amount as specified in clauses (i) to (vi) of sub-section (1) of that section exceeds one lakh rupees.

So, if your SA tax liability is more than 1 lakh, than Sec. 234A triggered from original filing date

They're sneaky like that.

None of us should be surprised!

Thank you all for clarifying the doubt.Thank you so much.
