Time of Payment of TDS

Question

Our company had deducted TDS on 31/03/2008 and deposited the same on 31/05/2008.The income tax department issued a demand notice for interest on delayed payment. Is our company  liable to deposit the interest? Sir, guide me on this matter

Answer

As per Rule 30(1)(b)(i)(1) of Income Tax Rules, 1962 TDS can be paid to Government account within 2 months of the expiration of the month in which the credit has been made provided in that month the accounts of the company is being made. (ie) if your accounts are finalised as on 31.3.2008 then you can remit TDS within 2 months from date of such closure which is 31.5.2008. So your payment seems to be in order.

This rule has been amended since 1.4.2010 and Rule 30(2)(a) states that payment has to be made to Government on or before 30th day of April where the income or amount is credited or paid in the month of March.
