10 March 2025 Interest for Late Payment of TDS: 1.5% per month from the date of deduction to the date of deposit. This interest is calculated from the date the TDS was deducted to the actual date of deposit, considering each month as a full period.

Penalty for Late Filing of TDS Returns: ₹10,000 to ₹1,00,000 if not filed within one year of the due date, along with a late filing fee under Section 234E

02 April 2025 Thanks. Here the issue is the Firm in question paid advance 4.8 Crores from november 2024 to march 25 and obtained
final bill in Match
TDS is not paid for advances paid in November 24 and December 2024 which falls under 3rd quarter. So penalty will apply with appropriate interest
Is it right

02 April 2025 What happens if TDS is not deducted. We should deduct at the time of payment
Is it right we have to pay penalty for non dedction of TDS. That is what act says
