income tax refund will not get taxed under any head but interest recived u/s 244A or say any section of IT Act will be taxed under income from other sources. i hope this was ur question you question is not clear please correct it.
Please tell me whether long term capital gain is to be exempt????????????by not investing in bond or house (Residential house) or investment whatever???(i.e. not u/s. 54 Ec )
when ever you pay excess taxes it is showed under loans and advances in GAAP when you actually get back loan repaid entry is given excess tax paid is returned to us it is by no strech of imagination a income . but the interest you earn on that refund is surely a income and credited under indirect incomes
if gross total income for that 2years were below taxalbe limit then there is no problem , but if TDS was deducted on you or you had gross total income above taxalble limit but ultimatly there was no self assmnt tax to be paid because of tds already deducted then return of income must have been filed or there are chances to levy penalty but for that AO has to prove mens rea in your mind. and you have to prove that there was no mens rea
