Frequently asked questions
When are TDS returns due?
Quarter 1 (May-Jun): July 31. Quarter 2 (Jul-Sep): Oct 31. Quarter 3 (Oct-Dec): Jan 31. Quarter 4 (Jan-Mar): May 31.
What happens if a vendor gives an invalid PAN?
If the PAN is invalid or not linked to Aadhaar, TDS must be deducted at a higher rate (usually 20%) under Section 206AA. Our software flags invalid PANs before deduction.
I paid TDS late. Can I still file the return?
Yes, but you must first pay the penal interest (1.5% per month or part thereof) on the late deposit before the FVU file will generate successfully.
