I am filing my ITR after 31/7/08 and I have some balance tax to be paid. How much additional penalty/interest has to be paid? Somebody told me that it is: 1% as interest and 1% for not depositing the tax before the due date, so a total of 2%. Is it correct? Or I should just pay a total of 1% as the penalty/interest.
