Tds payment

This query is : Resolved 

24 March 2014 what if TDS booked for Feb-14 not paid before 31st march 14

24 March 2014 Need to pay with interest till the payment date. 1.50% per month from the date of deduction

25 March 2014 Feb-14 Expenses will not be disallowed ?

27 July 2025 Good question!

Even if TDS deducted in Feb-14 is **not paid before 31st March 2014**, the expense **will generally not be disallowed** under the Income Tax Act **provided the TDS is paid subsequently with applicable interest**.

---

### Key points:

* **Interest @1.5% per month (or part of month)** from the date of deduction till actual date of payment applies under **Section 201(1A)**.
* Once TDS and interest are paid, the expenditure is eligible as a business expense.
* If TDS is not paid at all or payment is delayed without interest, then the expense may be disallowed under **Section 40(a)(ia)**.

---

### So, paying TDS late with interest avoids disallowance.
