interet would be @ 1.5%pm for 5 months i.e.april to august.

interest shall be calcuclated from date of deduction till date of deposit of tax i.e interest from mar to aug 1.5 percent per month
Hi

Interest will be from March till the month of payment.

You also need to consider March for Interest payment.

thus if paid in August, it shall be for 6 months and so on.

Should be noted that if the TDS is not paid on ot before due date for filing returns u/s 139 (1), the expenditure can be dissallowed depending upon nature of exp.

Thanks

As far as I know you have to pay Rs. 200 per day penalty also upto the amount of tax. Expert please confirm this.

Shalini, that penalty is for non filing of TDS returns.
We need to consider March month..as well.
Int will be from the date on which tax is actually deducted till the date of deposit, so in your case march month to be included.
