If you pay with interest within one month of deadline then it is required to pay only one month.

Submit online tds correction statement through traces.

Else interest keep adding even payment is done.

Download justification report and check the reasons for demand

As per Section 201(1A) of the Income Tax Act, if the deductor fails to pay the TDS on or before the due date, then he shall be liable to pay simple interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or part of the month for the period of delay, calculated from the due date of deduction till the date of actual deposit of TDS.

Therefore, interest for TDS delay is calculated on a monthly basis, and the period of delay is counted from the due date of TDS deposit till the actual deposit date. Therefore, if the TDS is not paid on or before the due date, the interest will be charged for every month or part of the month for which the TDS remains unpaid.

But sir. tds is paid on 8th of the subsequent month, so one month interest is to be charged as against two months
Only one month interest has to be charged. Interest will be accumulating in Traces website if you don't file Tds correction statement
