TDS paid in excess in Q1

Hi

Can the excess payment of TDS for Q1 be adjusted with the payment for Q2.

I mean say for e.g,, i had to pay 1000, 2000, 3000 for april may and june respectively.

But due to system change, there were some errors and I have paid as below:

- Rs. 3000 for april (on May 7th)

- Rs. 500 for May (on June 7th)

- Rs. 3500 for June (on July 7th)

 

and my return for Q1 is for Rs. 6000/- (monthwise breakup already given above).

 

So in all i have made an excess payment of Rs. 1000/-

Can this be adjusted against payments made for July or August ??

As per my understanding that can be done but with same vendor's TDS payable amount in subsequent months.

In the Q1 return excess amount deposited will be shown and in the Q2 return short payment can be done.

Please correct me, if I am wrong.

YES IT COULD BE ADJUSTED IN NEXT MONTH'S PAYMENTS.

Actually the TDS return contains the correct amount.

Only the payment made is on the higher side...!!!

I think the excess TDS deposit of one quarter cannot be adjusted with next quarter. The reason being that the TDS return of the next quarter will not have linkage to the excess TDS deposit in the previous quarter as a result the IT department database will not show this adjustment. There are other practical problems as well with the eTDS software in this regard like the acceptance of challan date earlier to the TDS deduction date, amount mismatch etc.

Thanks for the reply.

But the payment has no link with the return.

The return filed for the quarter is of correct amount.

The Excess TDS deducted in one quarter can be adjusted in another quarter.

Ex:

Particulars TDS Deducted inDeductee Details
TDS deposited in Deductee Details
Challan Amount in challan Sheet
Excess
Q1 5000 5000 6000 1000
Q2 8000 8000 7000
6000 previously paid challan details
13000 13000
1 The TDS deducted and deposited should be matched
2 Eventhough the Challan amount is more, we don’t have a problem, we have allocated only for the deduction amount

Thanks Ayyappa
