Return of chargeable interest: credit institutions must file prescribed verified returns; authorities can compel earlier submission.

Section 7 requires credit institutions, through their principal officer or designated agent, to furnish a verified return of chargeable interest for the previous year in the prescribed form and with prescribed particulars. The Assessing Officer may serve a notice compelling a return within a short specified period before the assessment year end. Where returns are late or contain omissions or errors, the assessee may file a return or a revised return within the statutory corrective window or before completion of assessment.
