01 July 2021 Late filing fee will be Rs.200 per each day of default from the due date subject to a maximum of TDS amount.
For example- Let us assume TDS amount was Rs.10,000 and return will be filed on 01.07.2021
No of days of default- 335 days*Rs.200 per day of default=Rs.67,000/- but it is subject to a maximum of Rs.10,000/-, which is the TDS amount. Hence late fee in said case is Rs.10,000/-

01 July 2021 Late fee has nothing to do with payment of TDS on time. It is for late filing of TDS return. Even if the TDS remittances are made on time, if the return is not filed within the due date, then late fee (as explained above) is payable.
