Sections 234A, 234B, and 234C – Interest for Delayed or Defaulted Tax Payments

Section 234B covers cases of non-payment or underpayment of advance tax, while Section 234C applies when advance tax installments are paid late or irregularly.

Example: If a taxpayer files their ITR after the deadline, simple interest at 1% per month is charged under Section 234A.
