Court dismisses appeal challenging interest charge under section 234B Act, affirms High Court decision.
The appeal filed by the revenue challenging the deletion of interest charged under section 234B of the Act was dismissed. The ITAT upheld the decision of the ld CIT(A) based on the legal position established by the Jurisdictional High Court. The High Court held that interest under section 234B should only be charged on the income declared in the return, not on the assessed income. The dismissal of the review petition by the Jharkhand High Court affirmed the validity of the High Court's decision until the Special Leave Petition filed by the revenue before the Supreme Court is disposed of.
Issues: Appeal against deletion of interest charged u/s.234B of the Act.
Analysis: 1. The appeal was filed by the revenue challenging the deletion of interest charged u/s.234B of the Act by the ld CIT(A) for the assessment year 2009-2010. 2. The Assessing Officer had assessed the income of the assessee at a higher amount than declared, leading to the charging of interest u/s.234B as advance tax was not paid on the assessed income. 3. The ld CIT(A) directed the Assessing Officer to modify the interest calculation based on the decision of the Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court, which held that interest under section 234B should only be charged on the income declared in the return, not on the assessed income. 4. The revenue contested the decision, stating that they have filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the Hon'ble Supreme Court against the High Court's decision, keeping the issue alive. 5. The assessee pointed out that a Civil Review Petition filed by the revenue before the Hon'ble Jharkhand High Court was dismissed, affirming the validity and binding nature of the High Court's decision until the SLP is disposed of by the Supreme Court. 6. The ITAT upheld the decision of the ld CIT(A) based on the legal position established by the Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court and the dismissal of the review petition, concluding that the interest should be charged only on the income declared in the return, not on the assessed income. 7. Consequently, the appeal filed by the revenue was dismissed, affirming the order of the ld CIT(A) and confirming that interest u/s.234B should not be charged on the assessed income but only on the income declared in the return.
