Interest on late TDS payment is calculated as per Section 201(1A) of Income Tax Act: - 1% per month for tax deducted but not deposited. - 1.5% per month for tax not deducted. Interest is calculated from the due date to actual payment date.

Tip: Interest is compounded monthly and separate from penalty under section 221 or late filing fees. Always pay on time to avoid extra charges.
