04 August 2012 Is interest Payable for less deuction and payment of tds ? if interest is applicable ,at what rate interest is applicable and interest to be calculated till what period ?

04 August 2012 In case of less deduction of TDS , your expenditure will be proportionately disallowed hence it is better to deduct the balance amount of TDS or full TDS and get it deposited.
.
Interest Rate is 1.5% for the month or part of the month which is applicable from the date of deduction to the date of deposit.
.
However, interest @ 1% is payable from the date of TDS Deductible to the date of TDS Deducted. But, W.e.f 1-7-2012, Payment of interest is required from the date of deduction to the date of e-tds return filing.
.
With an example the things will become clearer-
Suppose -Amount has been credited or paid (which ever is earlier) to the deductee on 05.04.2012. TDS is being deducted today on 04.08.2012,
.
Then interest @ 1% (one percent) is payable for 5 months. You have to file the Return upto 31.08.2012.
.
If you deposit the amount today itself you need not to pay interest @ 1.5%.
.
It is advisable to make the late TDS deduction entry on the date of deposit itself.
.
But if you deposit the amount on 08.08.2012, by deducting the TDS today, you have to pay additional interest of 1.5%.
.
So, in TDS matters it is always advisable to -
1. Deduct TDS on time and deposit it.
2. In case of late deduction, make TDS entry on the date of deposit of tax and file the return within the same month.
