Hi ,

sold some longterm holding shares in November 2024, didn't paid any tax yet. Planning to pay it before 31st of december.

for example If i owe 10lakhs after the 1lakh exemption ,How much interest will be charged? does 234A,234B,234C all apply for this? 

What will happen if I am not able to file by December 31st? what are the penalties?

 

Thanks ,

Jay

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the implications of late payment for Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax. If you sold shares in November 2024 and plan to pay tax by December 31st, interest under sections 234A, 234B, and 234C will apply to the balance tax amount after exemptions. Additionally, a late fee under section 234F may be applicable if your total income exceeds ₹5,00,000. If you miss the December 31st filing deadline, you can still file an updated return (ITR-U) up to March 31, 2030, but with escalating additional taxes based on when you file.

Since you sold share in Nov 24 so exemption for LTCG is 125000 

In this case after reducing exemption amount from LTCG , on balance amount tax rate is 12.5%

In this case interest u/s 234A, 234B, 234C will be applicable.

Additionally late fees us 234 F will be applicable since your total income is more than 500000 so late fees will be Rs. 5000

And if you do not file ITR upto 31/12/25, then u have to file ITR U which u can file upto 4 years from the date of end of relevant AY that is upto 31/3/2030

But you have to pay additional tax   in that case of ( tax + interest amount) that rates are as follows -

If filled upto 31/3/27 - 25 %

If filled upto 31/3/28 - 50%

If filled upto 31/3/29 - 60%

If filled upto 31/3/30 - 70%

 

Thanks and regards

In case of any other query u can reach me out.

Thanks Abhishek, thats really helpful. In case if i am not able to file by Dec 31st of 2025 and If I file ITR sometime between Jan to March 31st of 2026 , Do I have to pay 25% extra on the total tax&interest amount? or that 25% extra is only from April 1st of 2026?

Yes if u file ITR after 31/12/25 u have to pay additional tax i.e. 25 % of tax + interest..till  31/3/27

In short from 1/1/26 to 31/3/27 u have to pay 25 % additional tax
