1.For Q2 2015-16,tds interest payable was Rs.318 & company only Rs.200 & filed tds return.
Now a order is raised stating to pay balance 198+2 round off.
Is company liable to revise return & show the actual tds interest in return for q2 2015.
Or can company show balance interest paid in Q3 2015
You need to revise the return as the tds pertains to q2 of 2015-16. So cannot be paid in q3
Yes I agree with Prashant Hegde. Online correction can also be done by adding challan details to the statement
Pls explain the steps for online correction.
Interest as per order is not yet paid.So if we pay at the earliest & can we correct tds interest without revising Q2 tds e-filing.
Or is there any time limit for correction.
Please find attached the file for your reference a detailed procedure for correction of tds return

And there is no time limit for correction of tds return.
However if tds certificate is not issued on time I.e 15 days from due date of filing the return then penalty provisions may attract which is Rs 100/- per day of default.
So delay in downloading tds certificate will atract penalty u/s 272A.
My doubt in general is allowance/disallowance of such penalty/interest under Income tax on tax computation
1.Interest on late payment of tds/service tax/income tax/advance tax
2.Penalty u/s 272A on delay in dowloading tds certificate
My understanding is disallowance only attracts on payments in nature of violation of law.
So can i conclude disallowance will attract only on delay in income tax return filing/payment of income tax and others payments on violation of any law.
That is there is no disallowance on tds interest,service interest,tds return delay penalty of tds,service tax,
Any kind of fines, penalties or Interest on income tax is a disallowed expenditure.
Interest on late payment of tds, income tax and advance tax will be disallowed u/s 40(a)(ii) as it forms part of income tax.
However interest on late payment of service tax and vat will be allowed as service tax and vat are business expenditure and interest charged is merely due to compensating loss of interest to the govt as a result of late payment
The same analogy could not be applied in case of income tax as well. Since as per sec 40(a)(ii) specifically mentions "any sum". Hence they are disallowed. Needless to say tds and advance tax are just a form or part of income tax
Regarding penalty u/s 272A, it is not contravening the law or violation of law but due to non compliance.
There is a difference in both the terms. Contravening the law is intentionally offending the law. Whereas non compliance can happen due to ignorance of the law or unintentional in nature.
However as already mentioned, all fines, penalties or interest expense related to income tax will be disallowed.
Hence not all penalties tantamount to disallowances. Here I am trying to explain wrt vat and service tax. If it is due to non compliance then it will be allowable but if penalty is levied due to contravention of law then it will be disallowed
Hope you are now clear with the doubts
