As you mention that there is liability to deduct the TDS. So interest rate will be charged @ 1% per month or a part of a month from the date on which was to deducted to the date of deduction. and interest @ 1.5% per month or a part of a month will be charged from the date of deduction to date of deposit.

Thanks Arif, i have another query also if assessee was expecting that that the commission amount would remain within threshhold limit of 5000 , and he dint deduct tds but in the second it exceeds 5000 then will he have to revise the first quarter return and deduct the tds and deposte the interest for first quarter also.

Hi Sahil,

As you mention earlier that the commission is being credited every month. so You may calculate the expected commission amount in a financial year. If in your case it is exceeding 5000 then you are liable to deduct the TDS. 

Further if you have not dedcuted the TDS on crediting the commission whether within threshold limit, then you have to pay the interest for non deduction of TDS. 

Yes you have to revise the TDS return in which period these entries is falling.
