If you deduct tax at source, you must file a quarterly statement with the Income Tax Department showing who you paid, how much tax you deducted and how it was deposited. These statements have traditionally been filed in Form 24Q for salaries, Form 26Q for other resident payments and Form 27Q for payments to non-residents. Correct filing lets your employees and vendors see the credit in their tax records, and avoids late fees and default notices.
Qualified professionals from the Vibence partner network collect your deduction and challan data, check PANs and section codes, match each deduction with the tax deposited and prepare the statements for filing. After filing, they download TDS certificates from TRACES for you to share and help resolve any defaults or short-payment notices. As form numbering is being aligned with the Income-tax Act, 2025, they file using the forms prescribed for each quarter.

TDS Return Filing: FAQs
Who needs to file TDS returns?
Any person who has a TAN and has deducted tax at source during a quarter must file a TDS statement for that quarter. This includes employers deducting tax on salaries and businesses deducting tax on rent, professional fees, commission, interest, contract payments and payments to non-residents. Separate statements are filed for different categories of payments.
What are the due dates for quarterly TDS returns?
Quarterly TDS statements are generally due by 31 July, 31 October and 31 January for the first three quarters of the financial year, and by 31 May for the last quarter. The government can extend these dates. Tax deducted must be deposited separately, usually by the 7th of the following month, with a different date for March.
What is the penalty for late filing of TDS returns?
A late fee applies for each day of delay in filing a TDS statement, capped at the amount of tax deducted. Separately, a penalty may be levied if the statement is not filed within a year or contains incorrect information. Interest also applies on late deduction or late deposit of tax. Filing on time is the simplest way to avoid these costs.
What are Form 16 and Form 16A?
Form 16 is the TDS certificate an employer issues to employees for tax deducted from salary, usually once a year. Form 16A is issued quarterly for tax deducted on other payments. Both are generated from TRACES after the quarterly statement is processed. Deductees use them to claim credit for the tax deducted when filing their own returns.
Can a filed TDS return be corrected?
Yes. If a TDS statement has errors such as a wrong PAN, an incorrect amount or a missing challan, a correction statement can be filed after the original is processed. Corrections are prepared using the consolidated file downloaded from TRACES. Timely corrections help deductees get proper credit and can resolve default notices raised on your TAN.
