Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the interest applicable to late TDS payments for March 2021, when paid in May 2021. The interest rate is 1.5% per month or part thereof, calculated from the date of deduction to the date of payment. For a deduction in March 2021 and payment on 1st May 2021, this typically amounts to interest for three months.

Interest @ 1.5% pm or part of the month, from the date of deduction to the date of payment.

1.5% Interest per month or part of month shall be considered from date of accruing to date of payment
That means we have to calculate interest for 3 months.

What's the date of deduction? Also what will be the date of payment?

Date of deduction is Mar'21 and payment of TDS is 1st May'21

I meant the DATE of deduction.Assuming the date of deduction to be 31/03/2021 and date of payment to be 01/05/2021:

No. of days delayed: 32 days (1+30+1)

Interest to be paid: 3%.

In my opinion TRACES will calculate interest for 3 months. as per provisions of act.
Yes as calculation is based on number of months
Yes, I think so. It will be for 3 months
Yes you're right
