A quick heads-up if you've filed before

The forms you may be familiar with — Form 24Q, 26Q, 27Q, 27EQ, 26QB, 26QC, and 26QD — have all been renumbered under the Income-tax Act, 2025, effective for transactions from 1 April 2026 (Tax Year 2026-27) onward. The filing process and due dates remain largely the same; only the form numbers, section references, and payment codes have changed.

The new TDS & TCS forms for Tax Year 2026-27

Under the Income-tax Act, 2025, every quarterly TDS/TCS statement has a new number. The old numbers are shown for reference since many businesses still search by them — but only the new numbers apply to Tax Year 2026-27 transactions going forward.

If you need to correct a return originally filed for FY 2025-26 or earlier, that correction is still made using the old form under the Income-tax Act, 1961.

What it means

What is TDS return filing?

TDS stands for Tax Deducted at Source — a system where a person or organisation deducts tax before making certain payments, deposits it with the government, and reports the details through a quarterly TDS statement.

Depositing TDS and filing the TDS return are two separate obligations — depositing the tax alone doesn't complete your compliance. Without a filed statement, your deductees won't see the correct credit reflected in their tax records, which can trigger mismatches and notices.

A TDS statement typically includes

Deductor and deductee information (PAN and TAN)
Payment and deduction dates
The applicable payment code
TDS amount deducted
Challan details
Certificate-related information
Know the difference

TDS vs TCS — what's the difference?

TDS — Tax Deducted at Source

Deducted by the person making a payment — salary, rent, professional fees, contractor payments — and reported through Form 138, 140, or 144.

TCS — Tax Collected at Source

Collected by the seller from the buyer on specified transactions, and reported through Form 143.

A business can have obligations under both — for example, an employer deducting salary TDS while also collecting TCS on certain sales. TaxFilr supports filing for both under the new forms.

Eligibility

Who is required to file a TDS return?

Businesses, organisations, and individuals who deduct tax under the applicable provisions of the Income-tax Act, 2025 need to file TDS statements regularly.

Private & public limited companies LLPs & partnership firms Sole proprietorships Employers & payroll teams Government departments, trusts & societies Educational institutions & hospitals Startups & e-commerce businesses Contractors, property buyers & eligible tenants Individuals & HUFs under specific provisions
Our service

What's included in our TDS return filing services?

01

PAN and Deductee Verification

We check PAN accuracy and deductee name matching, and flag missing or incorrect entries — this matters even more under Form 141, which allows PAN-based filing without a TAN for certain transactions.

02

TAN and Deductor Detail Review

We verify TAN details, deductor name, business address, and responsible-person information against your registration records.

03

Challan and Payment Code Review

We check challan details against the new payment codes under Section 392 — quoting an old section number on a Tax Year 2026-27 return can make the statement defective.

04

Return Preparation

Our experts prepare the applicable statement — Form 138, 140, 144, 141, or 143 — in the required format based on your reviewed information.

05

File Validation and Error Checking

Every statement is checked for missing PAN, incorrect challan or payment-code information, and missing deductee records before submission.

06

Submission and Filing Acknowledgement

Once reviewed and approved, we submit the statement and share the acknowledgement details for your records.

TDS return filing due dates for Tax Year 2026-27

The quarterly filing schedule is unchanged under the Income-tax Act, 2025 — only the form numbers have changed. The government can notify extensions in specific years, so it's worth confirming the current deadline before filing.

April – June
Due 31 July
Quarter 2
July – September
Due 31 October
Quarter 3
October – December
Due 31 January
Quarter 4

Due 31 May

Form 141 — transaction-triggered

Filed separately within 30 days of the month-end in which tax was deducted, rather than on the quarterly cycle above.

Certificates

Form 130 and Form 131 certificate support

Form 130

The new salary TDS certificate, replacing the earlier Form 16. Employers issue it to employees after reporting salary TDS through Form 138.

Form 131

The new non-salary TDS certificate, replacing the earlier Form 16A — covering professional fees, interest, commission, and contractor payments reported via Form 140.

Certificate generation depends on accepted TDS statements, correct PAN details, and proper challan matching — errors in the underlying statement can affect certificate details. We help review, organise, and manage certificates for your employees and deductees.

Request Certificate Support
Registration

TAN registration service

TAN is still required for most deductors filing Form 138, 140, or 144. Form 141 filings for property, rent, and specified payments by individuals/HUFs can generally be made using PAN alone. We assist with new TAN application support, applicant detail review, and application status guidance.

Compliance risk

What happens when a TDS return is filed late?

Late filing continues to carry defined costs under the Income-tax Act, 2025 — the amounts are unchanged from the earlier law, only the underlying section references have been renumbered.

Late filing fee

₹200/day of delay, capped at the total TDS amount for that quarter.

Penalty

₹10,000 – ₹1,00,000 for non-filing or filing with inaccurate PAN, tax amount, or challan details.

Downstream impact

Delayed Form 130/131 certificates, incorrect or delayed tax credit for deductees, and possible notices requiring follow-up correction work.

The penalty amounts above are consistent with public reporting on the transition, though the specific renumbered section citations should be confirmed against the official Income-tax Act, 2025 text or TRACES before being quoted as legal reference.
