see frnd penalty u/s 221 shall be levid when the assessee doen not pay the amount of tax within the stipulated peiod allowed by AO in demand notice u/s 156.
however if assessee proves taht reason for delay is not intention of assessee then penalty can be removed.
here tax means tax assesed by AO i.e demand notice u/s 156.
merely paying TDS late does not make an assessee in default hence penlty could not be levid
