(2) The dealer shall be paid interest under sub-section (1) of Section 50 on the amount of refund ultimately determined to be due to the dealer as a result of such proceedings for the period commencing from the expiry of thirty five days from the date of the order referred in sub-section (1) to the date of refund.
