Since the appellant could not have anticipated the amendment when determining advance tax liability, they cannot be deemed a defaulter. The Tribunal noted that the CIT(A) erred in upholding the interest charge without considering the retrospective nature of the amendment and the consequent absence of a prior obligation. Accordingly, the appeal was allowed, and the interest under section 234B was set aside. en-us Wed, 13 Aug 2025 07:27:34 +0530 Wed, 13 Aug 2025 07:27:44 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=91531 The ITAT held that the appellant was not liable to pay interest under section 234B for failure to pay advance tax, as the liability arose from a retrospective amendment relating to transfer pricing provisions introduced after the return was filed.
