No Interest will be charged u/s 234A. I know the softwares are calculating interest but as the date is extended then no interest till august.

Due Date for specified persons is extended till 31.8.2012.Check whether your client comes under this category.If his ( either individual or HUF)total income exceeds Rs.10.00 laks, due date is 31.8.2012.Else it is 31.7.2012.This could be one reason for calculating interest U/s234A. Or you may have to update the software, if it has taken care of the latest notification regarding due date.Int U/s 234A applies if your client is not a specified person.
