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.

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.

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.

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.
