Company should pay Interest @ 1% for Non Deduction from the date of payment to the party till date of deduction (Period should be considered as months even if it is a part month)
For example, Date of payment to the consultant (Net of Tds) is 31.10.2019 and date of deduction of tds (accounted in books) is 05.11.2019, Interest to be calculated @ 1% for two months and tds along with interest to be remitted to government.
Please note, if tds is not remitted to the government immeditely, i.e, by 05.11.2019, additional interest of 1.5% should be paid month wise.
In our example, if deducted tds is not paid by 05.11.2019 and for suppose, it is paid on 01.12.2019, additional interest @ 1.5% should be paid for two months
