Query reg. 234b & 234c

Hi Guys ..

 

While finalizing one individual's ITR, I noticed that he didn't file his ITR for AY 2011-12 i.e. last year. After income computation, tax liability comes around Rs. 13,500/- including cess but excluding interest. Interest u/s. 234A, I have levied but im confused in 234B & 234C.

 

Now my question is whether Interest u/s. 234B is leviable?

since this section starts with the words 'If assessee HAS PAID Advance Tax but the amount is less than 90%'.

In my case, assessee didn't pay advance tax in last year.

 

Hence whether ONLY 234C interest is chargeable 

OR BOTH i.e. 234B as well as 234C interest.

 

When I searched the same on net, I found some answers telling that both are chargeable but I don't think so. Plz suggest.

In my opinion also, both are chargable.

First tell me how much the advance tax paid befor 31.3.2012

Intt under both scetions are chargeable 

but if your income is tax dedcutible i.e. interest and Salary and liability arised due to non dedcution of TDS by the payer of income. Only then u can save your interest chargeable u/s 234B & C

 

Thnx all buddies for replies
