TDS quarterly returns: checklist and timeline
Correct section mapping + correct PAN + correct challan = fewer corrections.
- Validate PAN, section mapping, rate and challan linkage
- Reconcile 26AS/TRACES and books before filing
- File correction statements quickly for mismatches
- Share Form 16/16A and maintain compliance tracker
Which form to use?
Typically: 24Q for salary, 26Q for non-salary resident payments, 27Q for non-residents, 27EQ for TCS.
A simple workflow
- Prepare vendor/customer master (PAN, address, section, rate).
- Compute TDS/TCS entries monthly and deposit challans on time.
- At quarter end, prepare statement data with challan mapping.
- Validate file, resolve errors, file statement, and generate Form 16/16A.
