Hello everyone in the forum. I have recieved outstanding demand from Income tax dept for AY 2010-11. Actually during FY 2009-10, I worked in Organization A from April-mid-Sept' 2009 and in Organization B from Mid Sept' 2009-Mar' 2010. I drew salary 500,126 from organization A and got exemption of 78,263 u/s 10 and paid tax  30,424 as TDS. In organization B,  I drew salary 584,586, got exemption of 153,827 u/s 10 and paid tax  31,900 as TDS. While filing ITR in July' 2010 my CA told that my income and exemption at Organization A should have been considered in organization B and they should have deducted more tax. He recalculated tax liability based on salary from both organizations and interest from savings account, which I paid as self assessment tax in July' 2010. The amount was 72,500 (apprx break-up was 67,500 for income and 5000 for earning interest on saving bank account). Now the Income tax dept has imposed fine of 5532 u/s 234B and 2681 u/s 234C. I want to know what is the basis of these penalties and more importantly is the penalty amount correct?

first of all 234b and c are not penalty.. it is interest and this is charged when someone defaults in payment of its advance tax liability... in your case also, since tax paid by you was more than 10000, you were reqd to fulfill the conditions of 234b and c. assuming that your ca forgot to calculate this interest payable, thats why you have recvd notice of demand.

Thanks Trivubhan. Is the interest amount correct? The interest amount is for how many months?

there is a formula for calculation of intt. where 1% intt per month is charged. you can google to find out the formula.
