28 September 2012 Interest for delay in payment of TDS is 1.5% pm or part thereof as per section 201(1A).

If the payment is not made within due date i.e. by 7th of next month, delay will be calculated from the date of actual TDS deduction.

For example, if deduction date is 04/06/12 and TDS paid on 29/09/12 delay is as follows:

From 04/06/12 to 03/07/12 - 1 month
From 04/07/12 to 03/08/12 - 1 month
From 04/08/12 to 03/09/12 - 1 month
From 04/09/12 to 29/09/12 - 26 days i.e. 1 month

So total interest would calculated for 4 months i.e. 6%.
