no. nil tds returns are not to be filed. however if the nil deduction is on account of reasons such as payment to transporter (PAN available), lower/nil tds deduction certificate etc, then return is to be filed.
please tell us how to file nil tds return. Last I checked it can be filed only under limited circumstances such as section 149c(6), nil deduction certificate etc.
