I have paid first installment of Advance tax U/s 208 but I failed to pay on or before due date i.e. 15 sept 2012. I paid that installment on 15 october 2012. My query is that, interest will be levid on how many days?

If you pay the advance tax installment late even by a single day, interest liability for 3 months will arise. So if you pay on 15-10 or 15-12 it will not make any difference.
