Yes, you going to pay interest @ 1% each month or part of the months on TDS on 10k. This is your safe to paying the interest, otherwise at the time of audit u/s 44AB or closing of assessment this will creat an issue for disallowance of expenses of Profit & Loss account of the company.

For my suggesion better you will pay a interest for TDS on 10k......

No need to pay any interest. its interest rise when second bill comes. so pay intt as regular.

if regular party and interest / tds deducted in last year the pay interest on tds of late payment of 10000/-

Provisions of sec.194C states that if the aggregate amounts of such sum credited or paid or likely to be credited or paid during the financial year exceeds Rs.50K, TDS is required to be made.

Hence if in a any particular case there is a preceedence from previous years data that payment to a specified party is bound to exceed the exemption limit, then it would construed as a default and interest would be levied.

In absence of any preceedence no interest is attracted on the initial 10K
