Under Section 244A of the Income-Tax Act, a taxpayer is entitled to interest at the rate of 0.5 per cent for every month from the first day of April of the assessment year to the date on which the refund is granted.
However, no interest is paid if the refund amount is less than 10 per cent of the tax paid by the taxpayer.
