On certain occasions, the payer is required to subtract TDS while paying the payee. This payment is not a salary payment, and the payer is required to file a TDS return on Form 26Q. The 26Q is a quarterly report that must be submitted. The total amount paid during the quarter, as well as the TDS amount deducted, must be recorded in 26Q. In this article information on what is Form 26Q, TDS return Form 26Q, how to download form 26Q, the penalty for late filing of Form 26Q, and all the other information on Form 26Q is included.
The total amount paid during the quarter, as well as the TDS amount deducted, must be recorded in 26Q.

Interest on securities, professional fees, dividend securities, directors’ salaries, and other income are among the items on which tax is deducted at the source.
