Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies which code to use on Challan 281 when paying interest on late TDS payments. Generally, TDS/TCS payable is under code 200. However, if the department demands interest, late fees, or shortage payments due to a notice, code 400 (TDS/TCS regular assessment) should be used.

Select the option of regular assessment...
@ Raja Would you kindly say which section will be selected for nature of payment
You can select option for the previous TDS deducted head...
Also check out the section in traces portal under message Inbox...
Late payment of TDS based on the respective section under code 400.
Generally Tds payment will be under 200 code (Tds /TCS Payable by tax per).

But if you get notice from dept and interest,late fee, even shortage of Tds if any demanded by department then you must use the code 400(Tds/TCS regular assessment-Raised by IT dept)
