The Supreme Court last week settled different views expressed by the Bombay and Karnataka high courts and allowed the appeals of the Commissioner of Income Tax, ruling that interest under Sections 234B and 234C of the Income Tax Act shall be payable on failure to pay advance tax in respect of tax payable under Section 115JA/115JB. In two appeals by the commissioner, against rulings in favour of Rolta India Ltd and Export Credit Guarantee Corporation, the Supreme Court delivered judgement in favour of the revenue department on the issue which arose, namely, interest under Section 234B can be charged on the tax calculated on book profits under Section 115JA. In other words, advance tax was payable on book profits under Section 115JA. Appeals by Nahar Exports and Lakshmi Precision Screws Ltd were dismissed.
