How come interest on Income tax refund is taxable, under which section is that stated?
since penalty for late payment or non payment of income tax is not allowed as deduction then why interest on refund taxable?

Dear Mr. Angad kr kannaujiva !
While preparing P & L a/c, we generally shall not take income-tax to the debit of profit and loss account just like other other revenue expenditure such as sales-tax, Licences and taxes etc. Even if some one debits the same in P&L account, it must be added back to arrive taxable portion of the net profit. Hence the income-tax refund in not taxable. As every body in this forum rightly and aptly expressing, that interest on I.T refund is taxable. This is applicable to all classes of assesses including salaried class.

discuss the issue with your auditor, as he can co-relate the issue with your accounts / returns and can make you understand his best possible way . as 26AS itself may be treated as a TDS 16A, coz all the data is mentioned therein,

Dear Madhu ! It is the duty and responsibility of the deductor to issue a certificate to the deductee in Form 16A. If you e-file your return, you will automatically get the credit. No physical copy of form 16A is required as there is display in Form 26AS.

Interest received on Income tax refund would be taxable under Income from other sources:
Suppose income tax refund is 110 (Rs 10 Intt)
then treatment in books will be as follow:
individual:
Bank a/c Dr 110
Individual Capital a/c Cr 100
Intt on IT Refund Cr 10
Partnership:
Bank a/c Dr 110
Partners Capital A/c (In their ratio) Cr 100
(or Adv Income tax/TDS)
Intt on IT Refund Cr 10
Company
Bank a/c Dr 110
To Advance Tax/TDS 100
To Intt on IT refund 10
If any correction required pls suggest

Since TDS is already included in the total income and if the same is taxable at the time of refund then it will be a case of double taxation on the same income . accordingly it violate basic principle of taxability.
conclusion:- income tax refund -not taxable at all
interest on income tax refund:- taxable under other sources

In the context of income tax, an IT refund refers to a return of excess tax paid by an individual or a business entity. It is not considered to be income in the traditional sense.
