Penalty: The Income Tax Department can impose a penalty on the outstanding amount. The penalty amount can be up to 50% of the tax due.

Interest: If you do not pay your taxes by the due date, the Department can charge interest on the outstanding amount. The current interest rate for delay in payment is 1% per month.
