As per the software, we have to show the interest only in the challan details. However, it still shows a default notice.
Earlier the ‘Interest’ amount had to be allocated on the challan value. From April ’26, as per documentation provided by Dept, this has been discontinued. Now one needs to enter the ‘Interest’ amount in the specified column in the challan. However, the department is throwing up Default Notice. We understand this gap is being resolved at the Department’s end. We need to wait and watch. Would suggest you to call the helpdesk of Income Tax for clarification.
