TDS Compliance FAQ

Answers to essential compliance timelines, notice defenses, and portal reconciliations.

TDS must be deposited on or before the **7th of the following month** (except March tax, which is due by April 30th). Quarterly TDS statements must be filed on or before the **31st of the month following the quarter** (July 31st for Q1, October 31st for Q2, January 31st for Q3, and May 31st for Q4).

Under Section 40(a)(ia), if a business fails to deduct TDS or deducts but fails to pay on or before the return filing due date, **30% of such expenditure is disallowed** for business tax deduction. This disallowance artificially inflates taxable business profit, increasing income tax liability.

Under Rule 119A, interest u/s 201(1A) is calculated for each calendar month or part of a month. A delay of even a single day into the next calendar month is treated as a full month delay for interest computation, which is why precise monthly reconciliation is critical.

Section 206AA mandates TDS at a **higher rate of 20%** if the deductee fails to provide a valid PAN. Section 206AB mandates higher deduction rates (twice the normal rate or 5%, whichever is higher) for payments to specified persons who have not filed their income tax returns in the preceding year and have aggregate TDS/TCS exceeding ₹50,000.
