Section 234b. interest computed till intimation.

839 views 5 replies

Dear Experts,

I have defaulted in filing my IT returns for AY 2012-2013 within the due date  31-August-2012. The net tax due was Rs 44739. The TDS amount was Rs 19698 which was paid by my employer. I  filed the income tax on 13-October-2013 including all the interests under 234a,234b,234c.

Income tax due date : 31-08-2012

Income tax filed on : 13-October-2013

Remaining tax = Rs 44739-19698 = Rs 25041 + interests

Interest 234A=Rs 3500, 234B=Rs 4750, 234C= Rs 524

Total Self-assessment tax paid on 13-October-2013 = Rs 33810

On 18-July-2014, I get a demand intimation under section 143(1) saying i have pay tax for Rs 36070 for which the break up is given below

Remaining tax=Rs 25041

Interest 234A=Rs 3500, 234B=Rs 7000, 234C=Rs 524

Demand request = Rs 36070

When I check my 26AS, the self-assessment tax paid by me on 13-October-2013 for Rs 33810 is getting reflected correctly but it is not given under section 143(1).

The interest on 234B is varying from the amount calculated by me because I think the IT department calculated the interest under 234B from the 1st April of the AY till the period the intimation under 143(1) is sent.

But in my case I have paid the self-assessment on 13-October-2013 before I filed the income tax return and also it is getting reflected in the 26AS but not in the intimation under section 143(1).

Should I pay the interest for 234B from the 1st april of the AY till the date of intimation?

Should I file a rectification request  online? How should I proceed?

you should file for a rectification u/s 154, but before doing so i would suggest that first you check that tax paid by you has been paid for correct AY. if it correct then go for rectification for sure.

Thanks Aditya for the reply. I have checked and it is paid for the correct AY.

What about the interest under 234B.. Will that be computed from 1st April of the AY till the intimation under 143(1) or will that be computed from 1st April of the AY till the date when the self assessment is paid?

 

dept. did correctly calculate intt of 234b from 1st april to date of intimation, but this is when tax is not paid by assessee. but in your case you correctly paid tax with intt. so intt should have been calculated till date of payment. and this is why you need to file rectification request to get tax credit.

Thanks for your immediate response Aditya. I have one more question. I just noticed that the self assessment tax paid by me was deposited on 13-october-2013 and form 26AS has the date as 13-october-2013. But i have give the date as 12-october-2013 while filing the original return. When i am filing a rectification request, Should i choose the option 1)Tax Payer is correcting data for tax credit mismatch only. This has option to give the details of TDS,TCS and IT paid details.

or

Should i choose the option 3)“No further data correction required. Reprocess the case. In this option there are three check boxes Tax credit mismatch, gender mismatch, tax interest computation mismatch.

 

you need to choose option 1 and correct date of payment of tax. the dept. wont be able to give you tax credit unless you provide correct details.
