29 August 2012 For any short or excess deduction of TDS, same can be adjusted/paid during the year.

In your case, the differential amount of TDS for the particular quarter due to short deduction can be paid in subsequent quarters along with interest as under:

For late deduction of Tax deduction at source-(period date from tax deductible to date of actual deduction )(rate 1 % per month or part thereof)
For late deposit of TDS after deduction (period :date from tax deducted and date of actual deposit)(rate 1.5 % per month or part thereof)

No penalty is applicable if u rectify the mistakes during the year.
