234A interest is invalid.

Late fee u/s 234F may be applicable for late filing.

31.12.2021 was the deadline..

You may apply for rectification
Sec 234A is valid in the following cases:
1. if the return of income is furnished after the due date of return and the taxable income is above threshold of income then interest will be calculated .
Sec 234 F has seperate implications.
When the tax is already paid before filing the return then what is the relevance of Section 234A ?
@ Saikiran marripalli

Kindly confirm for which Assessment Year you raised the query ?

If it is for AY-202021-22 then deadline was extended till 31.12.2021.

So may need to Modify your question.

Section 234A is applicable only if there is tax liability on the date of filing.
@ Ca Surya Sekar , 234A is applicable if there is tax liability at the end of FY or beginning of AY.

So it's still applicable but he has already paid with interest then there should not be further interest ..
@ Saikiran marripalli

Check the date of payment of self assessment in ITR Form ..Is it correctly quoted ?
Apply for rectification either reprocess the case or apply for data correction if any
Check whether the date of payment in challan & date of payment in ITR both are matching ?
If it is not matching then the tax liability as per intimation should also include SAT + Interest..
