Hello Sir,
Please help me understand the calculation.\
Inv booked on 15-Sep-2011
Inv Amt- Rs 1,74,258/-
TDS was applicable but not deducted.
Now TDS needs to be paid on the invoice.
SO TDS is : 10%+2%+1% of 174258=17,949/-
Interest on it would be 10 mths if TDS paymt can be done in next month cycle only.
Therefore Interest will be 1.5% X 10 months X 17949.00=2692.00
Is this calculation correct?

Yes, your calculation method for the interest on delayed TDS payment is basically correct. Here’s the detailed explanation:
### Interest on Late Payment of TDS:
* **Interest rate:** 1.5% per month (or part of a month) of the TDS amount.
* **Period:** From the date when TDS was supposed to be paid (usually the date of deduction or due date) up to the actual date of payment.
* Interest is calculated on the **amount of TDS payable** (not on the invoice amount).
---
### Your example:
* Invoice amount = Rs. 1,74,258
* Total TDS (10% + 2% + 1%) = Rs. 17,949 (assumed correct based on your rates)
* Delay = 10 months
**Interest = 1.5% × 10 months × Rs. 17,949 = Rs. 2,692.35**
---
### Summary:
* The **1.5% per month** interest applies on the TDS amount due, for each month of delay.
* Penalty under section 272A (Rs. 100/day) can also apply but is usually not levied strictly.
* You must deposit the TDS amount **plus interest** to regularize the payment.
