The assessee is a Private Limited Company engaged in the business of construction of Residential Apartments. The Company has executed Residential Project and during the financial year 2009-10 the Project is completed.
Exemption u/s 80IB(10) of the I.T.Act has been claimed on the net profit derived from the project as the Project fulfilled all the conditions laid down in the I.T.Act.
Except this the Company has no other Income.
Financial Statment of the Company are prepared as per Schedule VI of the Company Act.
NOW MY QUESTION IS :
The Company is liable to compute Book Profit tax u/s 115JB of the I.T.Act The Company is claiming net profit exemption u/s 80IB(10).
If the company is liable to pay MAT u/s 115JB, the company has not paid any Advance Tax, So the company is liable to workout the Interest u/s 234B & 234C.
It includes tax chargeable under the provisions of this act. Hence tax payable under section 115JB is also covered.
Please refer sec 208 which deals with advance tax which says tax payable exceeds Rs. 10000 in a year, advance tax is payable.
Hence in my opinion interest under section 234B and C is payable
