Dispute concerns entitlement to interest on delayed refund where the assessing officer denied interest by alleging a lapse in claiming TDS in a revised return. The legal principle stated is that exclusion of any period for calculating interest must be determined by the authority designated under the relevant statute; the AO lacks power to unilaterally disallow interest on that ground. The AO's terse finding was treated as erroneous; the appellate authority accepted the taxpayer's explanation regarding Form 26AS and held there was no lapse in claiming the credit.
