You may require to pay 2 months interest also,
As per provisions of section 201(A) of income tax act..
Section 201(A)
(i)
(ii) at 1.5 per cent for every month or part of a month on the amount of such tax from the date on which such tax was deducted to the date on which such tax is actually paid,
So for tax deducted from 1st May 2012 to 7th May 2012 interest is to be payable for 2 months as part of month also considered as full month for interest caluculation as per provisions of 201(A) for interest caluculation

Disagree with Tushar. Interest to be calculated from date of deduction till date of payment if default committed in paying the TDS on due date.
Say TDS deducted on 1st June. Due date of payment will be 7th July. If paid on 8th July interest on late deposit of TDS to be paid for 2 months i.e., 3% of TDS amount.

Dear Tushar what Ganeshbabu is saying is exactly what i had said. I think you misinterpreted it. He is saying that for TDS deducted between 1st and 7th of any month if TDS deposited on 8th of next month, interest applicable for two months since on 7th 1 month completes which is also the due date. So 1 days delay is resulting in interest for another month. whereas for TDS deducted on or after 8th of any month if TDS deposited on 8th of Next month interest to be paid only for 1 month.
But Ganeshbabu i think it will be between 1st and 8th and not 1st and 7th.
