TDS Return Filing

Quarterly TDS / TCS returns (24Q, 26Q, 27Q, 27EQ) filed correctly and on time

What is TDS Return Filing?

Outsource your quarterly TDS return filing. We validate challans, reconcile deductee details, file the correct form on the official utility, and generate Form 16 and 16A — keeping your business clear of late-filing fees and defaults.

Any business that deducts tax at source — on salaries, vendor payments, rent, commission, or professional fees — must deposit the TDS and file a quarterly return against its TAN. The form depends on the payment type: 24Q for salaries, 26Q for resident non-salary payments, 27Q for payments to non-residents, and 27EQ for TCS. Accurate filing lets your deductees claim their TDS credit and lets you issue Form 16 and 16A on time.

Who Needs TDS Return Filing?

Companies, LLPs, firms, and proprietors with a TAN who deduct TDS on salaries, contractor or professional payments, rent, or commission — and anyone who needs to issue Form 16 or 16A to employees and vendors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the TDS return due dates?

Quarterly: 31 July (Q1), 31 October (Q2), 31 January (Q3), and 31 May (Q4). Form 16 for salaries is issued by 15 June, and Form 16A within 15 days of the return due date.

Which TDS form do I need to file?

Form 24Q for TDS on salaries, 26Q for resident non-salary payments (contractors, rent, professional fees), 27Q for payments to non-residents, and 27EQ for Tax Collected at Source (TCS).

What is the penalty for late TDS return filing?

A fee of ₹200 per day under Section 234E applies until the return is filed, capped at the TDS amount. Non-filing or incorrect filing can attract a penalty of ₹10,000 to ₹1,00,000 under Section 271H.

What is a TAN and do I need one?

A TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number) is mandatory for anyone deducting TDS. It is quoted on every challan and return. We can arrange a TAN if you do not have one yet.

What if a deductee PAN is wrong?

An incorrect or missing PAN leads to TDS being deducted at the higher rate and creates a default in the return. We validate every PAN before filing to prevent this.

Can you file correction returns for earlier quarters?

Yes. If a past return has defaults or errors, we file a correction statement using the original token number to clear the demand.
