TDS Return Filing for Deductors
Deducting tax at source on salaries, contractor payments or rent? Leegal prepares and files your quarterly TDS returns correctly.
What Is TDS Return Filing?
Businesses and individuals required to deduct tax at source — on salaries, professional fees, rent, contractor payments and more — must file quarterly TDS returns reporting these deductions and the corresponding TAN.
Accurate TDS returns ensure the deductee's tax credit reflects correctly in their Form 26AS/AIS, so errors here can create downstream problems for the people you've deducted tax from.
| Correctly Filed TDS Returns | Errors or Delays in TDS Filing |
|---|---|
| Deductee's credit reflects correctly and on time | Deductee may face mismatched credit or filing issues |
| Avoids late filing fees and interest for the deductor | Late filing attracts fees under the Income Tax Act |
| Clean record for future compliance and refunds | Can trigger scrutiny or notices over time |
| Form 16/16A generated smoothly from filed data | Form 16/16A generation can be delayed or incorrect |
