Dear Rajeev,
With a view to discharge the practice of delaying the deposit of tax after deduction, the Act has increased the rate of interest for non-payment of tax after deduction from the present 1% to 1.5% for every month or part of month. The rate of interest will be as under:
Period of Default
|
Rate of Interest
|
(a) From the date the tax was deductable to the date on which such tax is deducted
|
1% p.m. or part of the month
|
(b) From the date on which such tax is deducted to the date on which such tax is actually paid
|
1.5% p.m. or part of the month
|
Therefore I Think you are correct i.e. Int. will be 1.5%+1.5%=3%
