since interest is charged 1.5%per month or part of month. Suppose, i have deducted TDS on 30th June, and deposited it on 08th of july then 1 day of June will be treated as one month and 8 days of July will be another one month. Hence total period is 2 months. Since, As per the Act , interest is charged from the period when tds is deducted to till tds deposited .
