Interest for delay in payment of deducted amount: In the case when the TDS deducted on time but is not paid by the specific due date ( payment due date is 7th of next month and in case of March, it is 30th of April), then interest will be applicable at a rate of 1.5% per month from the date when it should have been paid. 

• Example: Continuing with the same example if the TDS amount was to be paid for the month of November (i.e, on or before 7th of December), but it was paid on 10th of December then interest will be 3% (for the month of November and December).
