Dear Kishan,

Interest has to be paid on amount of service tax paid after due date for the period of delay. Even if a part of tax is not paid in time interest is to be paid on that part. In my opinion interest has to be calculatedas follows:

MONTH	DUE DATE	PAYMENT DATE	ST PAYABLE	ST PAID	DIFFERENCE	PERIOD FOR INTEREST	INTEREST
APRIL	05-05-2011	05-05-2011	Rs. 1,05,423.00	Rs. 31,469.00	Rs. 73,954.00	0	Rs. -
	05-05-2011	04-06-2011	Rs. 73,954.00	Rs. 25,000.00	Rs. 48,954.00	30	Rs. 1,094.00
	05-05-2011	14-06-2011	Rs. 48,954.00	Rs. 41,200.00	Rs. 7,754.00	10	Rs. 241.00
	05-05-2011	07-07-2011	Rs. 7,754.00	Rs. 23,280.00	Rs. -15,526.00	23	Rs. 88.00
