Interest u/s 234F is being charged in every ITR filing on 01.08.2021, though filing date extended till September, 30. Don't know why.

Quick Summary
Many taxpayers are encountering interest charges under section 234F when filing their Income Tax Returns (ITR) on August 1st, 2021, even though the filing deadline has been extended to September 30th. This appears to be a technical glitch on the income tax portal, causing a late fee to be applied incorrectly. While the filing date is extended, the due date for tax payment remains July 31st, meaning interest is applicable if tax was due and unpaid by then.
