Assessee's voluntary disclosure was accepted and demand for tax was issued. When the assessee fully pays the tax as per instalments allowed, whether interest could be levied - It is true, that the petitioner is liable to pay interest and, unless he pays the interest, he is not entitled to get the certificate as provided under sub-section (15) of section 24 of the Finance (No. 2) Act of 1965. But the point for determination is whether for non-payment of interest penalty could be imposed under sub-section (1) of section 221 of the Act. In my view as " tax " has been defined under clause (43) of section 2 of the Act, there is no scope for any argument that " interest " is an " additional tax ". Accordingly. I hold that no penalty can be imposed for default in payment of interest under sub-section (1) of section 221 of the Act. - In the result, this rule is made absolute in part. The impugned notice of penalty under section 221(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, dated April 2, 1971, which is annexure " F " to the petition, must be quashed by a writ of mandamus.

" - I answer the question referred to this court in the negative, against the assessee and in favour of the revenue. I hold that, on the facts and in the circumstances of this case, the amount of Rs. 2,04,947 was not allowable as deduction of selling commission in the assessment for the assessment year 1955-56
