Hamilton Industries Pvt. Ltd. Vs ITO (ITAT Mumbai)
Whether Commissioner of Income Tax (A) erred in conferring the interest of Rs.12,31,304/- under section 234C of the Income tax Act, 1961 without appreciating that the book profit includes capital gain income which arose in 4h quarter therefore the liability to pay advance tax arise only on 15.03 .2018 & 30.03.2018?
Then provisions of S. 234C (1) regarding payment of interest shall not apply to any shortfall in the payment of the advance tax due on the returned income. However, this is subject to condition that the assessee has paid the whole of the amount of tax payable in respect of his total income (including windfall gains, if any), as part of the remaining instalments of advance tax which are due (after accrual of windfall gain) or where no such instalments are due, i.e., in cases of windfall gain accruing after 15th of March of financial year, by the 31st day of March of the financial year. Therefore, when it is not possible for the assessee to estimate accrual or receipt of such income at any time when the payment of first, second, third or fourth instalment of advance tax, as the case may be, is due, the assessee is not liable to pay advance tax on the respective due dates in respect of such windfall gain.
