21 August 2013I have deducted tax on 30.04.2013 (paid/credit on same day), but deposited the same on 08.05.2013(due date 07.05.2013). I got a default notice demanding Interest u/s 201(1A) @ 1.5% for 2 months. Is this demand correct ?
If not, what should I do further to get it corrected ? Plz help...

Interest on late deposit of TDS is calculated from the date of deduction to the date of deposit @ 1.5% per per month or part of the month

I have a query. TDS has been deducted in April but remitted in July without interest on late payment. Client plans to remit that interest later during the year. Whether any interest charges are applicable on the said non remitted Interest for 4 months??

Mr. Goal
Demand is Correct you will have to be paid as soon as possible. one day delay have to be paid 2 months of delay . so you have paid 3% as interest.

Yes...Demand is Correct.Kindly read the provision..'IF the tax is not deducted from the date to deduction of TDS to the date of deposite/payments of TDS intrest payble will be one and half percent per month or part of month.So you have to pay the Intrest for the month of April & May both.
Thanks/Regards,

As per my view, tax deposited on 8th may, but due date is 7th of may, even if the one day delay considered as part month, accordingly interest should also to be calculated @ 1.5% for one month, not for the two months. Dear experts pls correct me if my answer is wrong |

Dear, kindly read the provision it's clearly said that intrest payble for the month and part of the month from the actual payment.so in the above case April is also the first month and respective may is the (part of) month hence he is liable to pay two months intrest.

Suppose I deduct Rs. 1000 as TDS April and remit Rs. 1000 ONLY in June. ie., without interest on such delay remittance. If the relevant interest portion is being paid in September, what are the consequences?
Interest for 2 months alone to be paid? or shall be calculated til August? or any interest on interest is applicable?
How to deal with such a situation??
