Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a query about a TDS default notice that included interest under Section 220(2) after a fee under Section 234F was already paid. The advice given is that if the payment was made within the stipulated time, interest shouldn't apply. However, if payment was delayed, interest is chargeable. The jurisdictional Income Tax Officer (ITO) has the authority to reduce or waive this interest based on an appeal.

If the required amount was paid within the specified time limit as per the demand notice, the interest u/s. 220(2) would not have been charged.

But if it was paid later than the time limit, then interest is chargeable.

Anyway, Your Jurisdictional ITO has authority to reduce the interest or nullify it, based on your appeal.

Okay .. 👍 thank you sir

You are welcome..
