Dear yogini,
The above said 1% interest has been increased to 1.5% w.e.f form July 2010, please read the following
Under the existing provisions of section 201(1A) of the Act, a person is liable to pay simple interest at one per cent for every month or part of month in case of failure to deduct tax or payment of tax after deduction.
With a view to discourage the practice of delaying the deposit of tax after deduction, it is proposed to increase the rate of interest for non-payment of tax after deduction from the present one per cent to one and one-half per cent for every month or part of month.
This amendment is proposed to take effect from 1st July, 2010.
