voluntarily if we deduct and make the payment we have to pay interest u/s 201(1)/(1A). Penalty will be levied only if the AO finds. right sir?

1) If you fail to deduct TDS the said expenditure will be disallowed. Interest payment is required only if you later pay ths TDS on above expenditure. Interest @1% p.m. or part thereof for late deduction. 2) If you deducted and failed to remit the same the same to Govt penalty under sec 221is attracted. Maximum penalty is equal to amount of TAX involved. If late deposited you will have to pay interest @ 1.5% p.m. or part thereof for late deposit. Even on payment of interest penalty u/s 221 can be levied.
