Interest on late payment of TDS 

SectionNature of DefaultInterest subject to TDS/TCS amountPeriod for which interest is to be paid
201ANon deduction of tax at source, either in whole or in part1% per monthFrom the date on which tax deductable to the date on which tax is actually deducted
After deduction of tax, non payment of tax either in whole or in part1.5% per monthFrom the date of deduction to the date of payment

Note : The above interest should be paid before filing of TDS return.

Under Section 201(1A) for late deposit of TDS after deduction, you have to pay interest. Interest is at the rate of 1.5% per month from the date at which TDS was deducted to the actual date of deposit. Note, that this is to be calculated on a monthly basis and not based on the number of days i.e. part of a month is considered as a full month.

For example, say that your payable TDS amount is Rs 5000 and the date of deduction is 11th January. Say you pay TDS on 25th May. Then the interest you owe is Rs 5000 x 1.5% p.m. x 5 months = Rs 375.

“Month” has not been defined in the Income Tax Act, 1961. However, in a number of High Court cases, it has been mentioned that it should be considered as a period of 30 days and not as an English calendar month.
This amount is to be paid from the date at which TDS was deducted, not from the date from which TDS was due.

For example, let the due date of TDS payment be 7th June and you have deducted TDS on 11th May. Say you have not deposited TDS by 7th June. Then you will be required to pay interest starting from 11th May and not 7th June.

Also consider the case in which you deposit tax one month after the due date. Say you have deducted TDS on 1st July. Then the due date is 7th august. Now say you deposit tax on 8th August (i.e. one day after the due date). Then interest is applicable from 1st July to 8th August i.e. for a period of 2 months. You now have to pay interest of 1.5% p.m. x 2 months = 3%
