when we calculate the Interest under S234A for late return filing in that case we have to calculate it on tax amount or on tax plus fees u/s234F
for eg-
tax amount -50000
234F fees- 5000
than interest will be on-
a) 50000 or
b) 55000
I referred Vinod Gupta sir book he is calculating on 55000 but I am doubtful about that
so can u please suggest me what should I do in exam?

Quick Summary
It should be levied on tax payable according to me.
To be calculated only on tax amount, the reason being charges under 234F are in the nature of fee for late filing of return and it is not component of income tax.
It is important to note here that the provisions of section 234F of the Income Tax Act is effective only from the Assessment Year commencing from 1st April 2018.
It is also pertinent to note that the late fee under section 234F was introduced with an aim to ensure timely filing of the income tax return.

@ shiza khan,
You can't calculate 234A on 234F interest.
First calculate tax then 234A ,234B & 234C.You just need need to add 1000/5000 directly to tax liability+interest+cess.
I mean to say cess is not applicable 234F
