Note:

This notification relates to eTDS returns covered under rule 31A means for quarterly returns for Forms – 24Q (Salary), 26Q (section 193 to 196D except entries covered in 27Q) and 27Q. As the rule 31AA has not been amended so TCS (Form 27EQ) return due dates remains unchanged unless notified later. Form 16A is to be issued within 15days from the due date of eTDS return filing. So, accordingly now 15 days more are available for issuance of Form 16A also for Govt. Deductors.

Forthcoming changes in TDS / TCS filing for Quarter 4

February 25th, 2011

In a recent communication, NSDL has outlined the following changes in eTDS statement filing for the Fourth Quarter:

  • It will be mandatory to provide the mobile number of the responsible person
  • Currently the system accepts TDS amount without proper calculation of Amount Paid / Credit * TDS Rate. Now, this would be strictly implemented
  • Deductee records will have to be flagged to show that the amount paid / credited is below the threshold limit, hence it is without tax deduction at source
  • Deductee records will have to be flagged where excess tax has been deducted
  • While making correction returns it will now be possible to update the Provisionally Booked Challans that is downloaded from the consolidated statement
  • Deductions u/s 80CCF will have to be shown separately in the Salary details as part of Form 24Q
  • Downloading of the consolidated statement would be simplified based on suggestions received from all around

Please note that official announcement and system modifications are still to be received from NSDL / Income Tax Dept. Once all details are in place, as usual we shall promptly update JS@eTDS Software (F.Y. 2010-11) to ensure trouble free filing of your TDS / TCS returns.
