2016 (3) TMI 248 - HC - Income TaxInterest u/s 244A - refund arising on account of Double Taxation Relief u/s 90 - Held that:- Examining the claim for interest on refund granted, considered the fact that the relief under Section 90 of the Act is available in respect of the income tax which is payable both in India as well as in the other Countries with which India has DTAA. Therefore, relief under Section 90 of the Act is to be allowed while computing the tax liability in India by virtue of credit being given to the extent that tax has been paid abroad. Therefore, the tax payable is to be computed on the income to be assessed. Thereafter the credit which is available to the assessee in view of DTAA is to be taken into account and if there is any excess which the assessee has paid into the Indian Treasury, then, he is entitled to the refund of the same which would also carry interest in terms of Section 244A of the Act.
