Intt u/s 234A is for non-filing of return/delayed filing of return i.e after due date, calculated @ 1% per annum,
Intt u/s 234B is for failure to pay advance tax or payment of advance tax below 90% of assessed liability, calculated @ 1% per annum
The former for Return filing, the latter for advance tax.
