CBDT Circular No. 9/2015-Income Tax, dated 09th June 2015 provides assessee a right to apply for condonation of delay in claiming the refund or carry forward the losses. So, in case, a assessee has missed the deadline of March 31, 2018 to file the return for FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17, he can claim the refund by following the guidelines as described in this circular.
Refund under section 244A(1)(b) of the Act on self assessment tax is to be paid from the date of payment of self assessment tax till the date of grant of refund.
Since assessee had not been served with any intimation or any other communication regarding the grant of interest under section 244A for assessment year 2009-10 and refund in question had been directly credited by department to bank account, the amount of interest had been provided in financial year 2015-16 on receiving of information from AO, therefore, addition being interest under section 244A could not be made by the AO.

Admittedly there is a mistake committed by the assessee in not adding interest on the refund to his sources of income. There is no disputing the fact that the tax payer duly and diligently must necessarily in its return of income disclose all avenues of his income. The assessee in its defence has consistently maintained […]

The bench was hearing a bunch of writ petitions wherein the petitioners raised a question that whether the expression ‘in any other case’ occurring in Section 244A (1) (b) of the Income Tax Act would include the amount of refund which constitutes the interest that has been waived by the Income Tax Department under Section 220 (2A) of the Act?
