Interest u/s 234C


(Guest)

The company paid Advance tax till 15th june on the income received. However, during 2 nd qtr, company opened new unit and the huge income recvd from the second unit is taken care of in 2nd qtr. advance tax is also paid in 2nd qtr. but, at the time of filing of return, 15% of total income tax should be paid in 1st qtr which is not paid actually cause the unit was not opened till then.

Now, the company gets liability of int. u/s 234c  for the same. can co. take any opposition that the unit was not opened till then and therefore, interest is not payable?
