Dear nitesh,

An income tax return filed without paying self assessment tax is considered as defective return.

Make sure the assessee now pays the tax with interest and files a revise return.....

agreed with above

Under which section interest to be paid.
And does revised return compulsory to b filled.

Yes the return will be considered defective and a revise return U/s 139(5) or in a reply to notice U/s 139(9) is to be filed otherwise the same would be treated as no return filed and the assessee shall be liable to be an assessee in default.
Further as there is no need to pay advance tax therefore int is to be paid U/s 234 (a) and (b)
