(i) Section 234 (A): 

If there is default in the filing of Income Tax Return by 31^st July (due date of filing Income Tax Return); there may be three conditions i.e. payment of income tax is outstanding on due date, no amount is outstanding on due date, or refund is receivable from income tax department. 

If there is outstanding amount of tax then simple interest of 1% per month will be charged on the period from the due date of filing income tax return to the actual date of filing income tax return. 

For example:

Mr. A is filing his Income Tax Return on 15^th September while the due date was 31^st July and the outstanding amount of tax is Rs. 50000. 

Then he will be charged an interest of Rs. 1000 (50000x1%x2). The 15 days period will be treated as a month.
