04 June 2011 Till 31/3/2011 simple interest @13% has to be payed for the delayed period. But vide notification 14/2011 dated 1/3/2011 interest rate is enhanced to 18%. However, if turn over of the service provider is up to Rs. 60 lakhs such service providers are liable to pay only 15%. This change is effective from 1/4/2011.
