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.
