They will charged interest but no penalty
Since the tax filing date has been pushed to 31st Nov 2020, for senior citizens is there a penalty if tax is paid post 31st July where tax is over 1 lac and no advance tax has been paid? if so what is the penalty
same question for proprietorship where date of filing is 30th Nov 2020 again
Dear Sir,
Hope you are doing well !!
Only interest will be charged for late payment.
No penalty will be charged for the same.
Dear Sir
Due date for all has been pushed to 31 nov 2020. it is not just for senior citizen it is for every taxpayer.
thanks. for both properitorship and Senior citizens as well? and what is the interest?
The interest on late payment is calculated at 1% simple interest on the tax amount due, calculated from individual cut off dates shown above, until the date of actual payment of outstanding taxes.
Calculation of Interest under section 234C: (in case of a tax payer other than opting for presumptive income u/s 44AD).
Here’s how you calculate the interest:
Period of Amount on which
Rate of Interest
Period of Interest
Amount on which interest is calculated
If Advance Tax paid on or before June 15 is less than 15% of the Amount*
Simple interest @1% per month
3 months
15% of Amount* less tax already deposited before June 15
If Advance Tax paid on or before September 15 is less than 45% of the Amount*
Simple interest @1% per month
3 months
45% of Amount* less tax already deposited before September 15
If Advance Tax paid on or before December 15 is less than 75% of the Amount*
Simple interest @1% per month
3 months
75% of Amount* less tax already deposited before December 15
If Advance Tax paid on or before March 15 is less than 100% of the Amount*
Simple interest @1% per month
3 months
100% of Amount* less tax already deposited before March 15
*Amount = Tax on total income less TDS less relief u/s 90 or 91 less tax credit u/s 115JD
Let’s say your total tax liability for this financial year is Rs. 100,000 it needs to be paid in installments.
Here’s how:
Payment Dates
Advance Tax payable
Total Advance Tax paid
Shortfall (Cumulative)
Penalties (Cumulative)
15th June
15,000
5,000
10,000
@1% * 3*10,000 = 300
15th September
45,000
25,000
20,000
@1% * 3 *20,000=600
15th December
75,000
35,000
40,000
@1% * 3 *40,000=1200
15th March
100,000
50,000
50,000
1% * 1 *50,000=500
So the total interest that you need to pay is Rs. 2600.
Hello,
The due date has been extended to 31st Nov. 2020 for every taxpayer.
For delayed payment of income tax, interest would be charged and no penalty.
I hope this answer satisfies your requirements.

Interest under section 234B and 234C shall be applicable for late payment and non payment of advance taxes. Interest is levied @ 1% per month.
There are no penalties levied.
In case you are planning to file your returns in Nov, you can at least pay the due taxes now so that interest is levied only till current month and not till Nov.
Interest@ 1% will be charged on late payment
Calculation of interest will be done under section 234C.
Interest liability will arise due to short payment of advance tax. Interest will be approx [deleted].
- Interest for deferred payment and short payment of advance tax will be payable. Rate is % per month. No other penalty.
Is the senior citizen earning any income under Business or profession? If yes, he will need to pay interest for non payment of advance tax. If not he is not required to pay advance tax and hence no interest on advance tax.
As far as 234A interest is concerned senior citizen will have to pay that.
Interest u/s 234A shall be 1% per month.
Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.
Thank you.
Similar would be for each section i.e. for advance tax 234B from April 2020 and 234C for each installment 1% per month and for 234A 1% per month from 31.07.2020 individually.
I will need the tax and income amount for calculating exact amount.
