If TDS has not been deducted & paid
- Interest rate is 1% per month
- Period = Due date of deduction to Date of deduction
- Part of the month = complete month
If TDS has been deducted but not paid
- Interest rate is 1.5% per month
- Period = Date of deduction to Date of payment
- Part of the month = complete month
- TDS deducted but not paid is intentional default therefore high interest rate and period also start from due date of deduction.
In your case first condition is applicable
