The Finance Bill proposes to create a separate class of default in respect of tax deducted but not paid to levy interest at a higher rate of 1.5 per cent per month, i.e. 18 per cent p.a. as against 1 per cent p.m., i.e. 12 per cent p.a., applicable in case the tax is deducted late after the due date. The rationale behind this amendment is that the tax once deducted belongs to the government and the person withholding the same needs to be penalized by charging higher rate of interest.
Non -deposit/late deposit of TDS .Interest and Penalty and other consequences
It may further be noted that the benefit of the proposed amendment under the Section 40a(ia) of making the payment before the due date of filing the return shall be available only in those cases where tax has been deducted during the previous year but paid after the end of the previous year and before the due date of filing the return. Accordingly, all such persons in terms of the Section 201(1A) need to pay a higher rate of interest, i.e. 18 per cent, from the date of deduction of tax till the date it is actually paid before furnishing the statement under the Section 200(3) of the Act.In case any person claims that tax has been deducted after the end of the previous year and hence a higher interest rate of 18 per cent is not applicable, such a person will not be eligible for the benefit of the proposed amendment to the Section 40a(ia), as this benefit is available only when the tax has been deducted during the previous year itself.
So pay your TDS deduction on time ,otherwise you have to bear heavy interest cost.

TDS deducted during the March 2012 last date was 30th April 2012. but we fail to depsoit the TDS on due date now we want to deposit the same by 10th May 2012, what Interest rate is applicable for the TDS deducted during 1st march to 10Th March and from 11th march to 31st march. Could you please confirm or if possible please revert on mail also sharwan.parashar@abhijeet.in
ReplyDeleteDear SKP
DeleteInterest Rate is 1.5 % per month or part thereof from date of deduction to date of deposit.
if you deposit tds by by 10th of May then interest will be
1st march to 10Th March =4.5 %(Same interest will be charged up to 30th April)
11th march to 31st march.= 3 %
What is this date 10th March? How it is 4.5% from 1st March to 10th March i.e. only for 10 days? Pl clarify, is there any typo error?
DeleteDate of deposit is considered 10th May ,1st march to 10Th March period is for date of deduction
Deletemeans if tax is deducted in between 1st march to 10Th March and deposited by 10 May then interest to be charged 4.5 %
Dear Rajan,
ReplyDeleteIn our case the total TDS (including 3% edu cess) is Rs 7349, and it was deducted on 31st March. We wish to deposit it tomorrow. I understand from above discussion that the rate of interest will 3% (1.5% X 2). But I am not very clear how this 3% is to be calculated. Is 3% calculated on Rs 7300 (rounding to nearest 100 and ignoring fraction of hundred; 3% of 7300 = 219) or on Rs 7349 (3% of 7349 = 220.47 rounded to 220). Please advise.
Regards, Atul
Fraction is to be ignored so as per rule 219 is correct .
DeleteThank you Ranjan PLZ. give give me the rule reference detail.
Deleteif tds is deducted and paid after the due date with out interest then waht we have to do
ReplyDeleteYou can pay interest separately or wait for department notice and pay interest thereafter.

ReplyDeleteWhich Challan# need to be used to pay interest and in what category
Should I file a new return after paying the interest or I send the Acknowledgment to bangalore office along with the interest payment receipt
if your employer has paid tds late then he has to deposit interest on late payment not you.Further tds deducted in the month of march can be deposited by 30th April.
DeleteSo need to worry , employer is responsible for interest ,if any
so shall i wait for the notice ,as the acknowledgement i got after filling the e-return says Tax payable as interest Rs 412 or I should send this acknowledgement
DeleteThe Interest shown in the return is not due to late deposit of the return . So it should be paid by you and revised return should be filled after revision of the return . Send both ITR V forms
