The application must clearly outline the reason for the delay and include supporting documentation, such as financial records, medical bills, or other relevant evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Section_1192a_and_Section_1192b\"><\/span>Section 119(2)(a) and Section 119(2)(b)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These sections of the Income Tax Act empower the income tax authorities to waive or reduce interest in cases where a taxpayer experiences genuine hardship.
