Eg:- Service tax dues on 01.01.2014. You paying in 30.06.2015

1. Calculate Service Tax Interest@ old rate i.e. 15%/18% (as applicable)till 30.09.2014.

2. Then, after 01.10.2014, rate changed into slabs.. 18%/24%/30%.

3. On 01.10.2014, time elapsed is 9 months.

So, interest will be calculated as under:-

01.10.2014 to 31.12.2014 :- Intt@24%
01.01.2015 to 30.06.2015:- Intt@30%

New rate will be operational on or after 01.10.2014

I hope your issue is resolved now.
