Dear Sir, As per my understanding, Even if no TDS deduction happened, still we will have to file NIL eTDS returns quarterly after 1.10.2009. Correct me if i am wrong.

Section 200(3) of IT Act provides as follows:
(3) Any person deducting any sum on or after the 1st day of April, 2005 in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Chapter or, as the case may be, any person being an employer referred to in sub-section (1A) of section 192 shall, after paying the tax deducted to the credit of the Central Government within the prescribed time, prepare such statements for such period as may be prescribed and deliver or cause to be delivered to the prescribed income-tax authority or the person authorised by such authority such statement in such form and verified in such manner and setting forth such particulars and within such time as may be prescribed.
From the language of the above section it is clear that one has to file TDS return only if the person has deducted and paid the TDS.
