How it is worked out — s. 234E & 201(1A)

234E late fee: ₹200 for each day the statement is late, never more than the TDS/TCS in that return.
201(1A) late deduction: 1% per month (or part) from the date the tax should have been deducted to the date it was deducted.
201(1A) late deposit: 1.5% per month (or part) from the month of deduction to the month of payment, where paid after the due date (the 7th of the next month; 30 April for tax deducted in March).
Any part of a month counts as a whole month, so the month of deduction and the month of payment are both counted.
