TDS Return

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is the tax withheld by the payer before making a payment to the payee when a transaction occurs. For example, your employer (Payer) deducts a portion as tax (TDS) from your salary before paying you (Payee).

The amount deducted is then deposited with the government on your behalf. This TDS will be offset with your final tax liability. Therefore, people cannot evade taxes as the government knows their income and financial transactions, and the tax they owe is accounted for.

The Diductor is responsible for filing the TDS return with the Income Tax (IT) department. TDS return is a quarterly statement that provides an overview of all TDS-related transactions made within that quarter. Generally, it includes information about the TDS amounts collected and deposited with the IT department. It is mandatory that the TDS returns are submitted on time by the diductors otherwise there is a Late Filing Fees of Rs 200 per day. Filing of TDS returns can be completed online. Once the TDS returns have been submitted online, the details will come up on the payee’s Form 26AS.
