26 December 2015 Section is same as in normal case i.e. section 201(1A) @ 1.5% per month from date of deduction to date of payment.and if it is not paid within 30 days of receipt of demand notice then interest @ 1% shall be charged additionally u/s 220. However the minor code shall be 400 in challan 281.
