Interest for failure to deduct tax at source/delay in payment of TDS
According to section 201, any individual who is required to deduct tax at source fails to deduct it or fails to pay the whole or any part of the tax to the credit of the government shall be responsible for paying simple interest as follows:
From the date on which such tax was deductible until the date on which such tax was deducted, interest of one percent per month or part of a month shall be charged on the amount of such tax.
From the date on which such tax was withheld to the date on which such tax was actually remitted to the credit of the Government, interest at 1.5 percent a month or part of a month shall be imposed on the amount of such tax.
In simple terms, interest will be charged at 1% for each month or part of a month for which deduction is delayed, and 1.5 percent for each month or part of a month for which remittance after deduction is delayed.
Late filing fees under section 234E
According to section 234E, if an individual fails to submit the TDS/TCS return on or before the due date, he is responsible to pay a fee of Rs. 200 for each day during which the default lasts. The amount of late fees must not be higher than the amount of TDS. Late filing fees, as stated above, are required in order to file a TDS/TCS return. In other terms, the late filing fees must be paid before the TDS return is filed. It should be remembered that Rs. 200 a day is a late filing fee, and not a penalty.
Penalty under section 271H
If a person fails to file the declaration of tax deducted/collected at source, also known as a TDS/TCS return, on or before the deadlines, the assessing officer may cause the individual to pay a penalty under section 271H. A minimum penalty of Rs. 10,000 can be imposed, with a maximum penalty of Rs. 100,000. The penalty imposed by section 271H will be in relation to the late filing penalty imposed by section 234E. However, apart from late TDS/TCS return filing, section 271H also includes incorrect TDS/TCS return filing. If the deductor/collector files an incorrect TDS/TCS return, a penalty under section 271H can be imposed. In simple terms, if the deductor/collector files an incorrect TDS/TCS return, a minimum penalty of Rs. 10,000 and a maximum penalty of Rs. 1,00,000 will be imposed.
