The financial information sought for in form 39A is an invasion of privacy. A lot of financial information is price sensitive for a listed entity and filing of such information would cause governance issues. The assessee would be providing information which has neither released to a Stock Exchange nor is in public domain and there is no guarantee that this information which is filed and lying in a folder will not be accessed in a price sensitive manner.

Advance Payment due date is approaching fast as due date for September Quarter for Payment of advance tax is 15th September 2015, so I thought it appropriate to discuss provisions related to payment of advance tax and consequences of late payment, Short Payment or non payment of advance tax.
Whether the levy of interest under section 234A, 234B and 234C of the Income Tax Act, 1961, (the “Act”) is mandatory and whether or not Assessing officer should give a specific direction in his order to levy of such interest.

Interest u/s 234A is the Interest for default for Furnishing Return of Income u/s 139(1) or 139(4) or Return filed in response to notice u/s 142(1). 1.- CONDITIONS FOR LEVY OF INTEREST u/s 234A a) Where Return of Income (ITR) is not furnished by Assessee. b) Where Return of Income (ITR) is furnished by assessee after Due Date of furnishing Return specified u/s 139(1).
Interest under section 234A of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter the Act) is charged in case of default in furnishing return of income by an assessee. The interest is charged at the specified rate on the amount of tax payable on the total income, as reduced by the amount of advance tax, TDS/TCS, any relief of tax allowed under section 90 and section 90A, any deduction allowed under section 91 and any tax credit allowed in accordance with the provisions of section 115JAA and section 115JD of the Act.
CIRCULAR NO. 2/2015 The Board has decided that no interest under section 234A of the Act is chargeable on the amount of self-assessment tax paid by the assessee before the due date of filing of return of income.
In the present case, the assessee deposited a sum of Rs.10 lacs under section 140A of the Act. In addition thereto, the assessee had also suffered tax deduction at source to the tune of Rs. 25,533/-. Eventually, the Assessing Officer, assessed the tax liability of the assessee at total of Rs. 15,08,474/-. Thus the assessee had short-paid tax to the tune of Rs. 4,82,941/-. To our mind, however, when we look at the ratio of the decision of the Delhi High Court in the case of Dr. Prannoy Roy (supra), such distinction would not be material. What was held by the Delhi High Court was that charging of interest from an assessee for late filing of return though the tax was already paid, would render the provision penal in nature, which the statute did not provide. If we apply the same ratio in the present case, the only modification we need to adopt is that the assessee must be held to be liable to pay interest under section 234A of the Act on the difference of amount between the tax assessed and the amount which he had paid before the due date to which even the assessee has not raised any serious objection.
