it will be 3 month interest. beacuse as per sec 201(1A) interest will be: at 1.5% for every month or part of a month on the amount of such tax from the date on which such tax was deducted to the date on which such tax is actually paid. so if you have dedected tax before 5th April then interest will be of 4 months. like if it is 3rd April then 3Apr-3May, 3 may-3 Jun , 3 Jun- 3 Jul and 3 jul to 5 Jul But if you have deducted TDS after 5th April then it will be 3 month interest like if it is 6 April then 6Apr-6 May, 6May-6 June, 6 June to 5 Jul
