This discussion addresses a common query regarding TDS interest payments where an initial lower interest amount was paid. The user seeks guidance on how to accurately report this in their tax return. The consensus suggests filing with the full 3% interest and including both challan numbers (for the initial payment and the subsequent additional interest payment) to ensure correct reporting.

hi, instead of paying 3% interest i paid 1.5% at the time of payment of tds ...later realised that need to pay 1.5% more....so paid later....just wanted to check...while filing the return i should file the full interest in the tds amount (like tds+3% interest) or i should file tds+1.5% ??and challan (only interest paid) seperately? or i shall file with 3% and csi file will do the work? bcoz while putting the record, in RPU Software, i think it gives option of adding only 1 challan number? pls help
