What Is TDS Return Filing?
Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a system where tax is collected at the source of income—like salary, rent, interest, or professional payments. Entities that deduct TDS must deposit it online and file TDS returns quarterly, declaring the tax deducted and paid to the government. TDS return filing is mandatory under the Income Tax Act, 1961, and non-compliance can lead to interest, penalties, and legal action.
Why File TDS Returns?
