SIR, ON THE LATE DEPOSITION OF T.D.S. WHAT RATE OF INTT. WILL APPLICABLE AND FOR WHAT PERIOD . FOR EXAMPLE. IF I DEDUCT THE T.D.S OF A CONTRACT ON THE DATE 27.08.2011 T.D.S AMOUNT 15,000/- AND DEPOSIT ON THE DATE 05.10.2011. HOW MUCH INTT. WILL CHARGED .
06 October 2011
TDS deducted in the month of August should be deposited on or before 7th of next month. Otherwise interest @ 1.5% per month or part of the month from such tax is deducted till the date of actual deposit. So, interest will be 15000*1.5% for two months i.e. Rs. 225*2 = 450
06 October 2011
BUT SOME EXPERTS VIEWS THAT IT SHOULD BE CHARGED FOR THREE MONTH INSTEAD OF TWO MONTHS AS PER INCOME TAX SECTION 201(1A), PLEASE CLEAR IF YOU HAVE MORE DETAIL FOR THE SAID SECTION, I WILL BE THANK FULL TO YOU.

Mr. Ramesh , can you please provide me any notification or circular for the said subject. as you are right that income tax department has issued demand on the three month basis (as you replied) .

In section 201 of the Income-tax Act, for sub-section (1A), the following sub-section shall be substituted with effect from the 1st day of July, 2010, namely:—
“(1A) Without prejudice to the provisions of sub-section (1), if any such person, principal officer or company as is referred to in that sub-section does not deduct the whole or any part of the tax or after deducting fails to pay the tax as required by or under this Act, he or it shall be liable to pay simple interest,—
(i) at one and one-half per cent. for every month or part of a month on the amount of such taxfrom the date on which such tax was deducted to the date on which such tax is actually paid, and such interest shall be paid before furnishing the statement in accordance with the provisions of sub-section (3) of section 200.”.

SIR, ALL ARE TRUE BUT THERE IS NOT CLEAR THAT IF WE DID NOT DEPOSIT T.D.S. ON OR BEFORE 7th of the month. rebate of the days will disallowed and interest will charged from day one i.e. tds deducting date 15.08.2011 and tds deposit on 12.09.2011 ( instead of 07.09.2011) then interest will charged for two months. sir I will be happy for your good reply.
