Interest on a delayed refund accrued automatically once the statutory six-month period expired without payment, and the department could not release only the principal while withholding the interest component. The High Court held that the statutory mandate required interest to be computed from the day after expiry of the six-month period until disposal, and directed payment of the interest within two weeks.
