08 April 2010 The due date for service tax deposit for the onth of March is 31st March itself and not 5th April as for other months.

Interest is to be levied @ 13% p. a. on the the number of days calculated from the due date till the date of payment.

So suppose if you make payment on 09.04 then interest leviable for 9 days and calculation will be 15900*13/100*9/365 = Rs. 51

08 April 2010 And the maximum penalty for non filing of service tax in time is Rs. 2,000/- and not interest.

Interest amount can be any amount.
