Hey @HarshitShah
Yes, in case you have not deposited TDS by the due date, the following penalties might be applicable:
Interest (if you do not deposit the TDS amount in time)
Late filing fee (if you do not file by the deadline)
Penalty (if TDS is not filed within one year of the due date)
Hope this helps!
