HOwever, when is assessment said to be completed when its still in appeal process? When is interest on refund accounted for as outcome of appeal is not known?

16 December 2010 Income which is contingent in nature should not be booked on the basis of prudence principle. So such interest need to be accounted at the time of final assessment only

22 December 2010 Thanks a lot..

E.g, if its in ITAT or CIT(A), final assessment will be after CIT/ITAT order? I mean what is defination of 'final assessment as per you.
