revised, whereafter demand has been made as per the agreement
and along with the revised cost, interest also becomes
automatically applicable, hence no exemption can be granted as
far as the interest amount is concerned, thus there is no error in
the calculation made by the Board, therefore the claimant should
make payment of the amount calculated by the Board
immediately. The Board had then issued a fresh demand notice
dated 31.01.2014, raising a demand of Rs. 6,39,981.61/-.
