Interest on late payment of tds

Yes they are correct

interest is payable from the date of booking/accrual till the period of deposit. (for a month or part thereof)

In your case, you need to pay for July & Aug  

Thanks for your reply sir,

but still I am a little bit confused because there are some posts according to which interest should be calculated and deposited on days basis.

here is the link for the same.

/forum/interet-calculation-on-late-payment-of-tds--191377.asp

What should I do?

 Should I calculate interest on days basis or on month basis........ ?????

Waiting for your reply...

Rule position is -you have todeposit by 7 th of the following month.

If you do not then the interest will be calculated from the date of booking till the date of deposit of the deducted amount.

In you case you have failed to deposit by 7th of the following month, then the interest will be calculated from the date of booking to the date of payment .

In your case they are NOT correct..  as the between the date of booking and date of payment 30 days havew not elapsed.

If you have missed provided time limite, then you have to calculate on monthly basis ie. if due date is 7th july and you have paid on 1st augutst, you have to pay for 2 months.

Sir, TDS deducted on 30th july due date was 7th aug but the tds deposited on 21st aug.......

then for how much month interest should be calculated?????????

Dear Mr.Manish,

Date of Deduction is  30th July Due date is 7th Aug. Date of Payment is 21st Aug.

Now having failed to pay by 7th of the following month you have top calculte from the date of deduction (I.e. booking) only 22 days have elapsed.August yopu have crossed 1 month then for months you have to .

But in the present case you have not exceeded on month time.

(Please do not confuse the dates between date of deduction to the date of payment and 

the 'date of due' to the date of payment)

If anybody fails to pay with in due date, the due date is not criteria for calculating interest on late payment.

Here in this case...

Interest calculation is follows::

Period ::Date of Tax deducted to Date of actual deposite (interest @ 1.5% p.m or part there of)

TDS is deducted but no deposited with in due date

TDS deducted 30 th July -  Part of July month

TDS deposited on 21st Aug - Part of Aug month

Therefore 2 months interest

Note :: Month means one calander english month  and not period of 30 Days

Ref::/experts/meaning-of-month-or-part-of-month-for-calculating-interest-80836.asp

will verify with the default notices downloaded and get back.

(will it not take few days time)

totally agreed with Mr.Ramsai

lots of confusion.........

The clarification in the link given lead to experts column - il.e. the opinion given in 2008.

Now the justification given is not logical without any reference to rule OR Law in the ACt.

Secondly part of the month means Clendar month of 30/31 days + fraction of the month CAN'T be in which month the  deduction is made and the payment made.

If what is given above is correct.  I should say the dept. is looting most unscrupulous menthods.

Will you please copy and paste Or reproduce here what your VG Sir has written in his book.

So that it will be useful to many.
