PENALTY ON LATE FILING OF TDS RETURN

This query is : Resolved 

16 April 2010 DEAR EXPERTS,

Following are the consequences for delayed filing of TDS returns.
1.There is a penalty provision of Rs 100 per day, for delayed filing of Quarterly statement under TDS or TCS.
2.The filing and thereby consequences are treated separately for Form 24Q, 26Q, 27Q and 27EQ.

My question is has anybody come across such situation that a penalty has been imposed for delay in filing TDS return.

Regards.

16 April 2010 No I have not seen any penatly being levied for delay in filing of TDS return as yet.

However one of my client had received notice regarding delay in issue of TDS certificate of Rs. 100/- per day for 1 day of delay.

16 April 2010 But for that notice also it was not a technical fault as the due date for issue of certificate was sunday and the certificate was issued on the next day though the thing done was wrong as per us as it should have been issued a day earlier we had won the case on the above basis.


16 April 2010 THANKS. SAME IN MY CASE. I HAVE FILED MANY DELAYED TDS RETURNS BUT NO PENALTY HAS BEEN LEVIED AS YET.
PLEASE TELL ME THE DUE DATES FOR ISSUE OF TDS CERTIFICATES.

16 April 2010 DEAR ADITYA JI,

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE DUE DATES IN BRIEF?

FURTHER I WANTED TO KNOW REGARDING THE ABOVE CASE MENTIONED BY YOU, HOW DID THE DEPARTMENT KNEW THAT THEIR WAS DELAY IN ISSUING TDS CERTIFICATE.

WHAT IF SOMEBODY ISSUES TDS CERTIFICATE AFTER DUE DATE, MENTIONING DATE WITHIN DUE DATE? HOW WILL DEPTT COME TO KNOW REGARDING THE DELAY IN ISSUE?
PLEASE CLARIFY? I HAVE LOTS OF CONFUSION REGARDING THIS.

REGARDS.

16 April 2010 It was a technical mistake on the clients part that details of form 15G/H received during the year was to be submitted. Along with that by mistake Form 16A was sent with those forms and that is how the department came to know of it.

It was submitted by mistake by the client

In practical life everyone issues tds certificate after due date, mentioning date within due date.


26 November 2013 FOR LATE FILING OF TDS RETURN THERE IS LATE FILING FEES I.E. 200 PER DAY.
REFER SECTION 234E

26 November 2013 Section 234E is effective from 01.07.2012 i.e., well after the query was asked.

27 November 2013 Section 234E applicable in respect of tax deducted after 01st July, 2012 and not 31st July.

28 November 2013 Corrected Aditya Sir...Galti se 31st Type ho gaya tha instead of 1st.
