28 September 2010 Dear All,

We have made provision for interest on 31st march, 2010 and accordingly tds should be paid on or before 31st may,2010. now, if such tds is paid on 30th sept,10 i.e. after due date, what will be the interest rate ?

is it 1% or 1.5% ?

how is it to be calculated ? (from june to july 1% and jylu to sept @ 1.5%)
