proper officer in writing giving reasons for payment of tax on a provisional basis
and the proper officer may pass an order allowing payment of tax on provisional
basis at such rate or on such value as may be specified by him.

(2) The payment of tax on provisional basis may be allowed, if the taxable person
executes a bond in such form as may be prescribed in this behalf, and with such
surety or security as the proper officer may deem fit, binding the taxable person
for payment of the difference between the amount of tax as may be finally
assessed and the amount of tax provisionally assessed.

PROVIDED that the period specified in this sub-section may, on sufficient cause
being shown and for reasons to be recorded in writing, be extended by the
Joint/Additional Commissioner for a further period not exceeding six months and by
the Commissioner for such further period as he may deem fit.

(4) The taxable person shall be liable to pay interest on any tax payable on the
supply under provisional assessment but not paid on the due date specified under
sub-section (7) of section 34 or the rules made thereunder at the rate specified
under sub-section (1) of section 45, from the first day after the due date of
payment of tax in respect of the said goods and/or services till the date of actual
payment, whether such amount is paid before or after the issue of order for final
assessment.

assessment under sub-section (3), subject to sub-section (8) of section 48,
