DRC 03 Voluntary payment 73(5): How to calculate the interest rate?

In the FY 2018-19, I claimed a total amount of INR 5000 extra as ITC. Now, to make a voluntary payment through DRC 03, how can I calculate the interest rate on this? Is there any particular interest rate mandated for late voluntary payment?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to calculate the interest rate for voluntary payments under DRC 03, specifically for excess Input Tax Credit (ITC) claimed. The recommended calculation method for interest is 24% per annum on the excess amount, prorated for the number of days. Section 50(3) of the CGST Act is identified as the relevant legal provision specifying this interest rate.
