Sure! Here's a clear explanation about TDS, interest under section 234, and the differences between 234A, 234B, and 234C:
---
### 1. **Consequences if TDS deducted under Section 194C but not deposited**
* If you deduct TDS but **fail to deposit it with the government on time**, you are liable to pay **interest** on the delayed payment.
* The interest is charged under **Section 201(1A)** of the Income Tax Act, **not under Section 234**.
* The interest rate is **1.5% per month or part of a month** from the date on which TDS was deducted to the date it is actually paid to the government.
---
### 2. **Which section levies interest on late TDS payment?**
* **Section 201(1A)** — Interest for delay in deposit of TDS.
* Rate: 1.5% per month or part thereof till TDS is deposited.

### 3. **Situations under which interest under Sections 234A, 234B, and 234C are levied**
| Section | Purpose | When Applicable | Interest Rate |
| -------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **234A** | Interest for delay in filing income tax return | When you file your income tax return after the due date. | 1% per month or part of month on tax payable from due date till filing date. |
| **234B** | Interest for default in payment of advance tax | When you fail to pay advance tax or pay less than 90% of your total tax liability. | 1% per month or part of month on the amount of unpaid advance tax, from April 1 of assessment year to date of payment. |
| **234C** | Interest for deferment of advance tax installments | When you fail to pay advance tax installments on or before specified due dates. | 1% per month for 3 months on the shortfall amount of each installment. |
---
### Summary:
* **TDS deducted but not deposited** → Interest under **Section 201(1A)** at 1.5% p.m.
* **Late filing of return** → Interest under **Section 234A**
* **Failure to pay/short payment of advance tax** → Interest under **Section 234B**
* **Delay in paying advance tax installments** → Interest under **Section 234C**
