05 April 2012 Since you have mentioned only tax amount and hereby it is not clear that whether it is net off any advance tax paid earlier / TDS.
Intt. u/s 234-B would be 1% p.m. from 01/04/2012 till you pay. Intt. u/s 234-C works out to Rs. 2220/-. The calculation is made assuming that there is no TDS/ no advance tax paid. Also it is to be mentioned that you can reduce the quantum of intt. u/s 234-B by paying early. Intt. u/s 234-C remains constant.

05 April 2012 Agree with the expert. To save the interest u/s 234B, should deposit tax amount as self assessment tax now. Interest U/s 234C, you cannot save now.

05 April 2012 Agree with Swasti and Prashant.
However, before making payment, check what is the rate of interest, the company is obtaining funds. If it is more than income tax interest, better to delay payment of tax now and pay at the time of filing return.
This can be effective way of saving interest.
