There will be interest and penalties levied
Interest :
if service tax collected but not paid the service tax on or before the due date when became payable - 24%
other than above case-15%
(Service tax interest % will be reduced by 3% if turnover less than 60 lakhs)
Penalty : (As per notice)
Not exceeding 10% of service tax payable
(as per notice received and payment made of interest and service tax )

There is no interest on interest leviable
