Online TDS Return Filing in India

Filing of TDS return is not an easy task. Many tax payers are finding difficulty in submitting or filing their TDS returns. TDS is a quarterly statement given to the income tax department. TDS means tax deducted at source. According to income tax act, 1961 – TDS is an indirect system of tax deduction by government of India at the time when transaction takes place. Tax is deducted by the deductor and transferred to the government by him on behalf of deductee.

TDS return is a statement which must be submitted quarterly to the income tax department. TDS return is submitted by the deductor and it contains details of TDS deducted & deposited by you.

There are two cases where tax is deducted at the time of payment –

Tax deduction ranges from 1% to 10%. Deductor deducts the tax amount from your salary and deposits the same to the income tax department.

It is mandatory for the deductor to submit TDS return before deadline.
