TDS Compliance

Avoid TDS defaults and penalties with our end-to-end compliance service — timely filings, reconciliation, and expert representation.

Our TDS Services

Complete TDS/TCS compliance management including registration, quarterly return filing across all forms, litigation support, and lower deduction certificates.

TAN Registration

Every person responsible for deducting or collecting tax at source must obtain a TAN under Section 203A. We handle the complete TAN application process including Form 49B preparation, document submission, and NSDL follow-up. We also assist with TAN deactivation, change of AO jurisdiction, and updating deductor details on the TRACES portal.

  • New TAN application via Form 49B
  • Deductor type and AO code selection
  • TRACES portal registration and setup
  • TAN correction and modification
  • TAN deactivation for dissolved entities

TDS Return Management (24Q, 26Q, 27Q, 27EQ)

We manage end-to-end TDS return filing for all deductor categories across all quarters. This includes Form 24Q for salary deductions, Form 26Q for non-salary payments to residents, Form 27Q for payments to non-residents, and Form 27EQ for TCS. We prepare the FVU files, validate data, upload returns, and resolve all TRACES notices and defaults.

  • Form 24Q quarterly salary TDS returns
  • Form 26Q non-salary TDS returns
  • Form 27Q TDS returns for non-resident payments
  • Form 27EQ TCS returns
  • Correction statements and short deduction resolution

TDS Litigation

We represent deductors in TDS proceedings before the Assessing Officer, CIT(A), and ITAT. Our team drafts replies to intimations, demand notices, and show-cause notices received from TRACES and the Income Tax department. We also handle proceedings arising from survey/search operations where TDS non-compliance has been alleged.

  • Reply to TRACES demand and intimation notices
  • Assessing Officer hearing representation
  • CIT(A) and ITAT appeal filing
  • Penalty waiver applications under Section 273B
  • Survey and search TDS compliance response

Lower TDS Certificate (u/s 197)

When a taxpayer's actual tax liability is lower than the TDS rate applicable, they can apply under Section 197 for a certificate authorizing the deductor to deduct at a lower or nil rate. We prepare and file Form 13 on the portal, provide all supporting computations and documents, and follow up with the AO for timely issuance. This is particularly useful for businesses with carried-forward losses, exporters, and NRIs.

  • Form 13 application preparation and filing
  • Supporting financial computation preparation
  • AO follow-up for certificate issuance
  • Nil deduction certificate for eligible cases
  • Certificate validity monitoring and renewal
