Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies when interest under Section 234A of the Income Tax Act is applicable. It explains that interest is charged if self-assessment tax exceeding £1 lakh is paid after the due date, regardless of when the return is filed. For senior citizens without business income, pension income alone generally doesn't trigger this interest unless advance tax payments were missed.

If self assessment tax (>1 lac) is paid after 31st July, then interest u/s 234A would apply. No relaxations for interest u/s 234A if filed after 31st July.
Agree with poornima
But I am a senior citizen suggest me

In case of senior citizens, if there is income from business or profession, then advance tax would be payable.

So, if you have business/professional income and if you have not paid tax on/before 31st July, then interest would be levied.

I have no business imcome only my pension is taken as income
