    We know that Due date for TDS is 7th of next month

    However for March,TDS Due date is 30 April

    (in case of Non Salary only)

    If deposited late,we have to pay interest @ 1.5%


    Due Date and Form No of TDS Challan - Filling TDS Challan 281

     

    If  TDS is deposited late

    Interest is payable from

    Date of Deduction (and not Last Date of Challan)

    to

    Actual Date of Deposit

    @ 1.5%

     

    TDS Interest if Wrong Date of Deduction in TDS Return

    We know that

    TDS is to be deducted at Invoice Received

    or

    Payment Made, whichever is earlier

    Last Date of Deduction to Actual Date of Deduction
