Tds interest on delay remittance of tds deducted

HI

I have a question on Interest Calculation on Delay in Remittance of TDS deducted.

Date on Which the Credit is made = 4/3/15

Date on Payment is Made= 4/4/15

Date on Invoice= 12/2/15

As per section 201, if any person who is liable to deduct tax at source does not deduct tax
at source, or after so deducting fails to pay the whole or any part of the tax to the credit of
the Government, then such person shall be liable to pay simple interest at following rates:
 Interest shall be levied @ 1% for every month or part of a month on the amount of
such tax from the date on which such tax was deductible to the date on which such
tax is deducted. Interest shall be levied @ 1.5% for every month or part of a month on
the amount of such tax from the date on which such tax was deducted to the date on
which such tax is actually paid to the credit of the Government.
In other words, interest will be levied @ 1% for delay in deduction and @ 1.5% for delay
in payment after deduction.

Now if i Take from the date of credit i get  63 days is interest is calculated as AmountX18%X63/365 

or Days are converted into months.. PLZZ HELP ITS URGENT... GIVE SUGGESTION AND ANY OTHER METHOD YOU KNOW. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

No it is not so. Interest is payable @ 1% or 1.5% (as applicable) per month or part thereof. So let us assume the credit/payment is made on 24/4/15 and tax deducted on same day but deposited on 24/6/15. In this case, interest is payable @ 4.5% (1.5% x 3 months [apr, may, june])

you have to calculate it in months not days. Interest at 1% per month or part of the month  should be calculated from 4/3/15 till the date of deduction and then interest at 1.5% per month or part of the month  should be calculated till the date of deposit of tds with the govt.

OH sorry the Tax is remitted on 7/5/2015 and amount is 1210 TDS deducted so can u calculate the interest amount

I explained the method of calculation itself, anyways, interest would be Rs.54

Int for 3 months mar, april and may... shd be calculated
