Interest U/s 234A

06 October 2020

My income tax filing due date was on 31st Jul 2020, however entire self assessment including interest u/s 234A was paid on 15th September only. Now I am going to file return let say on 7th of October 2020. Now my query is, whether I need to pay additional amount of interest for the month of October u/s 234A.?

If it is for FY 19-20 , then due date for return of Individual who is not required to tax audit ( Normal Taxpayers) is extended 30th November from 31st July....Hence there is no delay in filing return.

At present Assessee having self-assessment liability of above 1 lakh, are required to pay interest u/s 234A, if return is filed after their original date of return filing..

Sunil ji, If you paid your tax along with interest 234A (for 2 months i.e August and September) in September, 2020
Than Not required to pay any additional interest, whether you will file your return in October, 20 or November, 20
