27 November 2009 Yes, you can claim. But interest has to be caluclated on the amount which would have been paid for the respective month and paid to the Govt. Ex. as on june the liability was Rs 20,000 and CC was about Rs. 17000 and further July the liability was Rs 20000 and the CC was 22000. Then the interest on Rs 3000 has to be caluclated. Therefore the final payment would be Rs 1000 plus interest portion is to be remitted.
