TDS Return Filing in India
If your business pays salaries, rent, professional fees, contractor payments or interest above the thresholds, you are a TDS deductor — responsible for deducting tax, depositing it, and filing quarterly returns. It is one of the most penalty-prone areas of compliance.
Late filing carries a ₹200-per-day fee under Section 234E, and errors flow straight into your payees' Form 26AS, creating disputes. Clean, timely TDS is as much about your vendor relationships as your own compliance.
Key features and requirements
- Deducting TDS at the correct rate on salaries, rent, fees, contracts and more
