How to File TDS

All You Need to Know

Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a system introduced by the Income Tax Department of India to ensure that tax is collected at the time of earning income rather than at the time of filing a return. Under this system, a certain percentage of the payment is deducted by the payer (the deductor) before making payment to the payee (the recipient).

TDS applies to various types of payments such as salaries, interest, rent, commission, contractor payments, professional fees, and dividends. The deducted amount is then deposited with the government within the prescribed time. These deductions are reflected in the payee’s Form 26AS and can be claimed as tax credit while filing the annual income tax return.

Every entity that deducts TDS must file TDS returns every quarter. The key forms used are:

  • Form 24Q – For salary payments

  • Form 26Q – For all domestic payments other than salary

  • Form 27Q – For payments made to non-residents

  • Form 27EQ – For Tax Collected at Source (TCS)

TDS Filing Made Easy Forms Deadlines and Certificates

TDS filing ensures that the tax deducted and deposited is correctly recorded in the government’s database and linked to each deductee’s PAN. Non-filing or incorrect filing can lead to penalties, interest, and even disallowance of expenses under the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Who Should File TDS ?   

  • Employers deducting TDS from employee salaries

  • Companies or firms making payments to contractors or professionals

  • Businesses deducting TDS on rent, interest, or commission

  • Banks deducting TDS on deposits or interest payments

  • Individuals or entities liable to deduct tax under Income Tax Act provisions
