About TDS Return 24Q
Overview
Every deductor holding a TAN must file a quarterly statement of tax deducted or collected. Form 138 (earlier Form 24Q) is used for salary TDS. From tax year 2026-27, TDS and TCS provisions are consolidated under section 393 and related sections of the Income-tax Act 2025, with new form numbers under the Income-tax Rules 2026.
Correct PAN, challan mapping and section codes are essential. Errors lead to short deduction or late payment demands and incorrect credit for your employees, vendors or customers.
Company Mitra collects your quarterly data, validates PAN and challans, files the return before the due date and downloads the certificates for you to issue. The fee is charged per quarterly return.
Form 130 (earlier Form 16) is issued to employees after the fourth quarter return is processed.

Frequently asked questions
What are the due dates?
31 July, 31 October, 31 January and 31 May for the four quarters respectively.
What is the new form number?
From tax year 2026-27 under the Income-tax Act 2025, Form 24Q is replaced by Form 138. Returns for periods up to March 2026 continue in the old forms.
What if there are no deductions in a quarter?
A nil return is generally not mandatory, but a declaration for non-filing can be submitted on TRACES to avoid default notices.
What is the late fee?
₹200 per day until filing, subject to the TDS or TCS amount, plus possible penalty for non-filing.
Compliances after this
- Deposit tax deducted by the 7th of the next month (30 April for March)
- Issue TDS or TCS certificates within the prescribed time
- Check TRACES for defaults after processing
Penalty for delay / non-compliance
Late filing attracts fee of ₹200 per day till the return is filed, capped at the TDS or TCS amount (earlier section 234E). Non-filing beyond one year or incorrect filing can attract penalty of ₹10,000 to ₹1,00,000 (earlier section 271H). Late deduction or deposit attracts interest at 1 percent or 1.5 percent per month.
