18 December 2008 Yes, company liable for interest on short deduction. And also salary shall be disallowed to the extent tds is not deducted u/s 40(a). But normally company take proof, otherwise deduct tds in match

18 December 2008 Yes company will be liable for interest on short deduction and late payment.
But I am of the opinion that salary and rent are not disallowed due to non deduction of TDS U/s 40(a).
