Interest for late deposit is 1.5% per month or part of a month, calculated from the date of deduction. A one-day delay past the 7th costs a full month of interest, so this is one of the most expensive deadlines to miss.
Failure to deposit TDS also disallows 30% of the related expense under section 40(a)(ia) in the deductor's own return until it is paid.
