14 March 2009 Hey, Interest on late deposit of TDS is 1% per month or a part thereof and that too is calculated from the date of deduction.

For example:
If you have deducted TDS on 05.05.2008, you are supposed to deposit it with Govt. by 7th of June' 2008. But if you fail to deposit it by 7th of June and deposits the same on 10.06.08, then your interest calculation shall be as follows:

Period of interest: 06.05.08 to 10.06.08
Comprising one complete month & 4 extra days

Therefore, effective interest rate shall be 2%.

Hope you got your answer in right spirit.
