TDS Filing
Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) involves withholding a portion of tax on income at the time of payment. Entities and individuals responsible for TDS must file quarterly TDS returns, detailing each deduction.

TDS Return Due Dates
TDS returns are due on a quarterly basis, and all entities or individuals who have deducted TDS must file these returns within the specified deadlines. Each return contains essential information, such as the Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN), the amount of tax deducted, the nature of the payment, and the Permanent Account Number (PAN) of the individual from whom the tax was deducted. Different forms are used for TDS returns depending on the type of income.
