If the calculation of interest is by mistake, they can inform the same, demand, and collect a shortage of interest calculated up to the date of the previous date of demand.  I am afraid that they can not serve the demand notice for interest  after that date of earlier notice.   However, it may be proper to give time for payment of such interest not collected by mistake and can prescribe a due date, and if such interest is not paid they may even demand up to date interest on such interest.  However, you can ascertain the laid down rules and regulations from ITO through RTI or contact a local chartered accountant on the enforceability of such a claim.
