Urgent reply:
Since the service tax due date was **6 July 2016**, but payment was made on **3 Nov 2016**, the delay is almost **4 months after the 6-month grace period**, so interest calculation is as follows:
* **First 6 months delay (till 6 July 2016)** — interest @ **18% p.a.** on the due amount.
* **From 7 July 2016 to 3 Nov 2016 (approx 4 months delay beyond 6 months)** — interest @ **24% p.a.** on the due amount.
**Penalty:**
* Penalty can be imposed, but if you voluntarily pay the tax and file return before any notice, many times penalty is waived or reduced.
* Practically, a **minimum penalty of Rs. 500 to Rs. 1000** can be expected, but consult local department or circulars.
**Summary:**
* Calculate interest as per above rates for respective periods on the service tax amount.
* Deposit interest + service tax + voluntary penalty (if any, or at least Rs. 500).
* File the return immediately after payment.
