13 February 2012 Interest will be 2 months. TDS on interest appliable from the date of deduction, so tds deducted Nov-1 and paid dec-20. so November 1 month n december 1 month total 2 months interest need to be paid (interest will be paid month or less then month both as considered as 1 month only) refer section.201
