DEAR SIRS,

WE NEED TO PAY EXCISE & SERVICE TAX LATEST BY 6TH OF EVERY MONTH.

AS 6TH MAY IS ON SUNDAY, CAN WE MAKE PAYMENT ON 7TH?

WILL WE HAVE TO PAY INTEREST ON DELAYED PAYMENT IN THAT CASE?

KINDLY REVERT BACK.

REGARDS,

LALIT DHABRIA

Service/ Central Excise due date is 6th for Online Payment. For making online payment, you can pay on Sunday also. There is no extension from the department if due date is on sunday.

Sunil's opinion is very good. You can make payment today along with interest for 1 day delayed payment if online other wise 2 days.

Thanks Bikramjit Pattanayak.

You have only one option.

Deposit on bank account on 7th and pay thru online with interest @ 18% P.a. If you didnot pay online on 6th whether it is public holiday or not, you have to pay interest on payment of 7th.
