31 May 2008Hi Friends,
1. As Per rule under M.V.A.T. Act, If Anyone files late return i.e. for the month of Apr'2008 it has to be filed till 21st May'2008 but filed on 10th June'2008. In this case he will have pay interest of 1.25% Per Month ? I am having doubt regarding interest rate ?.
2. So, when the penalty comes into force i.e. when penalty is levied & at what rate / amount ?
Regards
Sanjiv.
