TDS Return Filing — Forms 24Q, 26Q, 27Q & 27EQ
Quarterly TDS and TCS statements filed accurately and on time — challan reconciliation, PAN validation, TRACES defaults resolution, corrections and Form 16/16A generation, managed end to end.
TDS return filing is the quarterly compliance of reporting tax deducted or collected at source — Form 24Q for salaries, 26Q for resident non-salary payments, 27Q for payments to non-residents and 27EQ for TCS. Tax deducted must be deposited by the 7th of the following month (30 April for March), and quarterly statements filed by 31 July, 31 October, 31 January and 31 May. Late filing attracts a fee of ₹200 per day u/s 234E (capped at the TDS amount) plus penalties u/s 271H — and errors block your deductees' tax credits until corrected. Our service covers challan reconciliation, PAN validation, filing, TRACES defaults resolution, correction statements and Form 16/16A generation.
Every deductor, every quarter
TDS is the compliance that never pauses — deduct at payment, deposit monthly, report quarterly, certify after each quarter. Each step feeds the next, and a slip anywhere surfaces as a TRACES default or an unhappy vendor whose credit didn't appear.
We run the full lifecycle as a managed service: your team shares payment data, and deductions, deposits, statements, certificates and corrections happen on schedule without reminders in either direction.
- Employers deducting salary TDS (24Q)
- Businesses paying contractors, rent and professional fees (26Q)
- Payers remitting to non-residents (27Q with 15CA/CB)
- TCS collectors (27EQ)
- Property buyers deducting u/s 194-IA (26QB)
- E-commerce operators deducting u/s 194-O
- Firms paying partners u/s 194T from FY 2025-26

Our TDS filing process
A quarterly rhythm your vendors and employees will feel.
Data Collection
Deduction registers, challans and deductee PANs collected in a fixed monthly format.
Validation & Reconciliation
PANs verified, sections and rates checked, and every deduction mapped to a deposited challan.
File & Generate
Quarterly statements filed and Form 16/16A generated from TRACES and delivered.
Defaults & Corrections
TRACES monitored after every filing; defaults analysed and correction statements filed promptly.
TDS that never becomes the vendor's problem
Clean statements mean clean 26AS entries for everyone you pay.
Zero-default objective
PAN validation and challan mapping before filing — the two causes behind most short-deduction and mismatch defaults.
Rate-and-section accuracy
The correct section and rate applied for each payment type, including newer provisions like 194Q, 194R, 194S and 194T.
Deadline automation
Deposits and filings run on a managed calendar with escalations before — not after — the due date.
Fast corrections
When a deductee's credit doesn't reflect, the correction statement goes the same week, not the next quarter.
NR payment expertise
27Q filings aligned with treaty rates, TRC documentation and cross-border positions.

TDS data flows straight into business tax filing and the compliance calendar — one source of truth.
