About TDS Return Filing
If your business deducts tax at source on salaries, rent, contractor payments, professional fees or other specified payments, you must deposit that tax and report it in a quarterly TDS return. The people you deducted tax from rely on that return to see the credit in their own Form 26AS.
We prepare your quarterly statements from your payment records, match each deduction to the challan through which it was paid, validate the file before submission, and help you issue TDS certificates and handle correction statements when something needs to be fixed.
Who Needs This Service
- Employers deducting tax from salaries
- Businesses paying rent, contractor charges, commission or professional fees above the applicable limits
- Businesses making payments to non-residents
- Sellers required to collect tax at source
- Deductors who have received a default notice or short-deduction demand
- Businesses that obtained a TAN but have not yet set up a filing routine
Key Benefits
Challan matching
Each deduction is linked to the correct challan, which reduces the chance of a default for short payment.
PAN validation
Deductee PANs are checked before filing, as an invalid PAN can lead to a higher rate being applied and a demand.
Certificates on time
We help you generate Form 16 and Form 16A so that employees and vendors receive their certificates within the prescribed time.
Corrections handled
If a default is raised, we help you understand it and file a correction statement where appropriate.
Eligibility and Applicability
- Every person holding a TAN who has deducted or collected tax at source during the quarter
- Form 24Q for TDS on salaries
- Form 26Q for TDS on other payments to residents, such as rent, contract work and professional fees
- Form 27Q for TDS on payments to non-residents
- Form 27EQ for tax collected at source
TDS returns are currently filed quarterly, and due dates generally fall in the month after the quarter ends (with a later date for the January to March quarter). Rates, thresholds and due dates are subject to current rules, which we confirm for you.

Quarterly data request
After each quarter, we send you a list of the payment and challan details we need.
Review and matching
We check deduction rates, validate PANs and match every deduction to a deposited challan.
Return preparation
The statement is prepared in the prescribed format and validated using the official file validation utility.
Filing
After your confirmation, the return is filed and the acknowledgement is shared with you.
Certificates and follow-up
Once the return is processed, we help you download and issue TDS certificates and review any default reported.
Estimated Timeline and Fees
Estimated timeline
Usually 3–5 working days per quarter after we receive complete records
Returns with many deductees, missing PANs or unmatched challans can take longer. Processing and certificate availability depend on the department's systems.
Professional fee
Our professional fee depends on the forms you file and the number of deductees and entries each quarter. You receive a written quote before we begin.
Government fees and charges
Late filing fees, interest on late deduction or payment and any penalties are charged under the Income-tax Act and are separate from our fee.
* Timelines are indicative. They can change because of document verification, queries raised by the authority and government processing times, which are outside our control. Approval is decided by the relevant authority under applicable rules.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Depositing TDS under the wrong section code or assessment year in the challan
- Quoting an incorrect or inactive PAN for a deductee
- Deducting TDS but depositing it late, which attracts interest
- Filing the return but not issuing Form 16 or Form 16A to deductees
- Ignoring default notices on the TRACES portal until they become demands
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to file a TDS return if I made no deductions in a quarter?
Requirements for nil periods have varied over time. In some cases a declaration on the portal is sufficient. We check the current position for your TAN so that no default is recorded.
What happens if I file late?
A late fee generally applies for each day of delay, subject to a cap, and a penalty may also be levied in some cases. Interest may be separately payable if tax was deducted or deposited late.
Can a filed TDS return be corrected?
Yes. A correction statement can generally be filed to fix errors such as wrong PANs, amounts or challan details. We help you identify what needs correcting and file it.
Why is the deductee not seeing TDS credit in Form 26AS?
Common reasons include an incorrect PAN, an unmatched challan or a return that has not yet been filed or processed. We review the return and file a correction where needed.
