Ques 1:TDS was deducted on 31.5.16 and deposited on 31.5.17. For interest @ 1.5% U/S 201(1A), how many months will we take?

Ques 2: In the above case, if TDS is deposited on 1.6.17 , how many months will we take?

Ques 3: TDS was deducted @ 1% (on say 50,000) on 01.05.2016 and deposited on time. However, it was required to be deducted @ 2%. Balance shortfall (i.e Rs 500) is paid on 01.06.2016. How much interest will be charged and for how many months(detailed working required).

Interest is computed from the month of deduction till the month of payment. Any part of month is considered as full month. Now you can calculate accordingly

Qn.1:  12 months

Qn.2:  13 months

Qn.3:   If TDS is made in 01.05.2016. Then due date for remittance is 06.06.2016. Hence you should have deposited Rs. 1000 (2% of Rs.50,000) to credit of Govt. on or before 06.06.2016. Since you have done the same, there is no liabilty for Interest u/s 201(1A).

@ Sanjay S: Could you please tell me if TDS of Rs 500 is paid on "1.6.2017", what will be the interest ?

Yes. If the TDS of Rs. 500 were to be paid on 01.06.2017, then there is a delay of 13 months, which was computed as follows:

---> Part of June 2016 = 1 month.

----> July '16 to May '17 = 11 months

-----> Part of June '17 = 1 month.

-----> TOTAL = 13 months

 

Hence interest = Rs. 500 x 1% per month x 13months = Rs. 65

The interest rate shall be 1% since the Tax of 1% had not been deducted at all.
