TDS Return Filing
Your trusted partner for direct tax compliance — ensuring accurate, timely TDS return filing with full adherence to Income Tax regulations.
Overview
TDS Return Filing is a mandatory quarterly compliance for every entity that has obtained a TAN and deducted tax at source. Under the Income-tax Act, 1961, deductors must submit statements providing details of the tax deducted and the deductees (vendors/employees) to the government.
Timely filing is critical to ensure that the tax deducted is correctly credited to the deductee's PAN (Form 26AS/AIS). Missing deadlines or incorrect reporting can lead to heavy late fees (₹200 per day), interest on unpaid amounts, and statutory notices from the Income Tax department. Bizmint provides end-to-end support for validating challans, reconciling data, and filing error-free TDS returns on the TRACES portal.
