Interest u/s 234a

Niteshbhai !!!

As the person mentioned in question has deposited his tax liability on time !!! so no INTEREST u/s 234a is applicable !!!

Agreed with Keval ji.

I too agreed with keval ji, as there is no question fo delay in payment of Tax the assessee is not liable to pay interest u/s 234A. 

Hi,The corollary is that even though a person may have paid the full tax before the due date for filing the return, merely because he delays the filing of the return, he would be visited with interest even on the amount which has already been paid.And also SEC234A is interest for defaults in furnishing return of income but not for late deposit of tax with  the It dept.

Mr. Nitesh Gupta  person have already tax deposit on 31.07.2011, i think tax laibiltiy is over so no impose u/s 234A.

Thanks

If the assessee has paid self assessment tax before due date of filing return of income then even if return is filed after due date, interest u/s 234A will not be chargable.

This view is supported by following judgements:

CIT v. Pranoy Roy [2009] 179 Taxman 53 (SC) & Milan Enterprise v. CIT (2005) 95 ITD 18 (ITAT Mumbai Bench)

Dear Nitish,

Section 234A is applicable due to late filing of return. There is no connection with payment of tax.

Hence interest will be charged u/s 234A  even the tax has been deposited in time........

Interest under section 234a is payable if there is any statutory due and not for late filing of return. Interest and penalty for late filing of return are two separate things. a case law has also been judged on this same   ground by supreme court.

INTEREST U/S 234A WILL NOT BE APPLICABLE HERE....

AS TAX PAYABLE IS DOPOSITED BY ASSESSEE ON TYM......

As the tax liability is considered from the point of view of 31st March, and since taxes are paid on 31st July only, there is a certain amount of interest payable for default in furnishing return of income.

Interest u/s 234A would not be payable when the SA tas is paid on or before the due date of filing the return evenif return is filed after the due date. sine u need to calculate interest on tax payable and since there was no tax payable as on the date of filing the return, the interest in this case will nt b applicable.
