TDS Return Filing

File My TDS ReturnFour Quarters a Year, and the Penalty Clock Starts the Day After Each One
Once you have a TAN and have deducted TDS, a quarterly return is due — and the late fee under Section 234E runs at ₹200 per day with no cap, whether or not you've already deposited the tax itself. We track your quarters and file before the deadline, every time.

| 27EQ | Tax Collected at Source (TCS) on specified transactions |
Why Timing Matters
What a Missed Deadline Actually Costs
Late Filing Fee — ₹200/Day
Section 234E charges ₹200 for every day a TDS return is late, with no upper limit tied to the tax deducted — it accumulates until the return is actually filed.
Penalty for Non-Filing
Beyond the daily fee, Section 271H allows a penalty of ₹10,000 to ₹1,00,000 for failing to file altogether, or for filing incorrect details.
Form 16/16A Depend on This
Your employees' and vendors' Form 16 and Form 16A can only be generated correctly once the underlying TDS return is filed and processed on TRACES — a delayed return delays their documents too.
Interest on Late Deposit
Separately from the return itself, depositing deducted TDS late attracts interest under Section 201 — 1% per month for late deduction, 1.5% per month for late deposit after deduction.
Due dates and penalty figures are set by statute and can be extended or revised by notification. We confirm current deadlines for your filing quarter before submission.

Hand us your TAN and deduction records once, and we'll take it from there every quarter.
