Is it necessary to round off tax amount which is multiplied by interest rate to be rounded off to multiple of hundreds and if yes, where is such provision regulating such practice?

PLS refer section 288B
Sex. 288B is silent for sec. 234a/b/c

Rounding Off - Rule 119A For the purpose of calculation of interest payable or receivable by the assessee, the amount on which interest is to be calculated shall be rounded off to the nearest multiple of Rs 100 and any fraction has to be ignored.

Illustration If income tax liability is 143575 and 43500 has been paid as TDS/SAT For the purpose of calculation 234ABC interests, 143575-43500=100075 As per Rule 119A, 100075 has to be rounded off to 100000 thereby ignoring the fraction 75.
