I am filing ITR of A.Y. 2025-26 before 30-11-2020. But Software calculated interest u/s 234A. Why? OR How to calculate interest u/s 234A for A.Y. 2020-21?
|
Published on:10/06/2025
|
|
As per Notification no. 35/2020 of Income Tax, due date has been extended from 31st July 2020 to 30th November 2020. However, if tax on total income after reducing TDS/TCS and advance tax exceeds Rs. 1 Lakh rupees, interest u/s 234A will be calculated as if due date is 31st July 2020. For example, if tax payable is Rs.1,40,000/-, TDS Rs. 20,000/-, Advance Tax is Rs. 10,000/-, then 234A will be calculated as 140000-20000-10000= 110000 exceeds Rs. 1 Lakh. For calculating interest, challans paid on or before 31st July 2020 are deducted from tax. However, whose tax does not exceed Rs. 1 Lakh can pay taxes till 30th November 2020 and no interest u/s 234A will be levied till 30th November 2020.

How surcharge is calculated under marginal relief? |
Published on:10/06/2025
|
|
Marginal relief is applicable when surcharge at applicable rates is more than additional net income earned. For example, In case of Individual for A.Y. 2020-21, if total income at normal rates is Rs.50,50,000/-, Surcharge @ 10% on tax is Rs.1,32,750/-. However, if he would have earned Rs.50 Lakhs, there would have been no surcharge. Additional income in excess of surcharge threshold limit is Rs.50,000/- (50,50,000 – 50,00,000), which net of tax is Rs. 35,000/- (50,000 – 30% of 50,000). Hence, surcharge will be lower of net additional income i.e. Rs.35,000/- or surcharge at applicable rates i.e. Rs.1,32,750/-; therefore final surcharge amount will limit to Rs.35,000/-. (This calculation is shown on computation sheet also.)
