22 February 2013 I want to calculate interest on service tax

My service tax is pending since july 2010

Pending details upto 31.03.2011 1,50,000/-

upto 31.03.2012 4,00,000

upto 31.03.2012 5,50,000/-

because interest rate is changed from 01/04/2011, it increased to 15% (for the assesses income not exceeding 60 laks) from 13%

So, i am not clear for the calculation of service tax whether it is liable to pay 13% or 15% or partially
and we are paying this service tax feb end

please clarify calculation as such case...
please help

24 February 2013 Interest is chargeable for delayed payment of service tax u/s 75 of the Finance Act. For the period upto 31.3.2011 interest would be charged @13% on the amount pending until that date and thereafter @15%. The interest would be calculated with reference to the delay in number of days from the date when the service tax was due to the date of payment.
