Person who makes the payment – deducts & deposits TDS with the government. TDS is usually deposited to the government by submitting an ‘Income Tax Challan’ along with the payment. Besides depositing tax, as a Deductor, you must also file a TDS Return.

TDS return is a quarterly statement to be given to the IT department. It is compulsory for Deductor to submit a TDS return on time. The details required to file TDS returns are:

Failure to Furnish PAN

Any person eligible to receive payment for which TDS is required to be deducted is required to obtain a valid PAN (if not obtained) and furnish the correct PAN to the deductor. Care must be taken to furnish the correct PAN, so that the tax deducted can be credited to the correct account. Further, non-furnishing of PAN or furnishing of incorrect PAN would result in the deductor incurring higher TDS at 20% rate and levy of penalty of ten thousand rupees.

Hence, before furnishing PAN for TDS, the deductee must check the PAN status (Must be active) and number. PAN status and number can be checked through the Know Your PAN website of the Income Tax Department. Before furnishing the PAN ensure that it is in active state. If PAN status is inactive, then the deducted must contact the jurisdictional Assessing Officer to change PAN status to active.

TDS Certificate

While deducting TDS, the deductor should furnish to the deductee a TDS certificate. The deductee can cross check the tax credit by viewing Valid TDS certificate is the TDS certificate downloaded from TRACES (http://www.tdscpc.gov.in) bearing a 7-digit unique certificate number and TRACES watermark.

All TDS certificates must be preserved by the Deductee. TDS certificates on payments other than salary are issued on quarterly basis and TDS certificate for salary is provided on an annual basis. If the TDS certificate is lost, the deductee can request for a duplicate TDS certificate.

Claiming TDS

TDS credit can be claimed by the deductor. To claim the credit of TDS, the deductee has to mention the details of TDS in his return of income. Deductee should take due care to quote the correct TDS certificate number and TDS details while filing the return of income. If any incorrect detail is provided by the deductee, then tax credit discrepancy will arise at the time of processing the return of income and the same can cause problems in processing the return of income. Recently the NSDL e-Gov prepared a software solution namely e-TDS/TCS return preparation utility (RPU) in order to ease the preparation of e-TDS/ TCS filing returns. The government has made this VB based utility absolutely free while there are other utilities available for multiple statements.
