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.
