The above said notification also says that these amendments shall come into force on the 1st day of April, 2009. In Short, mandatory filing of 24C, 24Q, 26Q and 27EQ is required irrespective of whether TDS/TCS is made or not. The new circular no.2 mentions about mandatory filing of form 24C and remains silent about other (now) annualised forms (24, 26, 27 and 27E).

NOW WHETHER FORM 24Q, FORM 26Q, FORM 27EQ AND FORM 27Q FOR THE LAST QUARTER OF FINANCIAL YEAR 2008-09 IS MANDATORILY REQUIRED TO BE FILED BY CONCERNS (OR OTHER TAN HOLDERS LIKE INDIVIDUALS) THAT HAS NO DEDUCTION IN THE SAID 4TH QUARTER ?
