Scenario-2 seems to be correct.

Your observation in the first instance is correct.
.
Interest should be charged at 18% simple interest upto 30.09.2014.
.
Then, for the period from 01.10.2014 to 07.01.2015, the rate of interest will be 30% since the period of delay is beyond one year.
.
- Clarified by Tax Research Unit Letter D.O.F. No. 334/15/2014-TRU, dated 10.07.2014. Refer to Page No. 6 of this -> link
.
Further, if the preceding F.Y. turnover is <= 60lakh, then interest rate would be 15%, applicable for small service providers.
