TDS Return on Salary Payment (Form 24Q)

TDS or Tax Deducted at Source, is a type of tax levied by the Indian government wherein taxes are collected on the basis of 'pay as you get'. The taxes are deducted at the source of payments such as salary paid to an employee or commission earned by a broker.

The taxe is deducted by the employer before making the payment to employee and is deposited with the govt. The employer later issues form 16 to its employees which serves as a proof of tax payment in the hands of employee.

If the expenditure incurred/payment made during the year is below the threshold limit, there is no requirement to deduct tax at the source.

If net taxable income is less than the maximum amount which is not chargeable to tax

• Rs. 2,50,000 for an individual

• Rs. 3,00,000 for Senior Citizens

• Rs. 5,00,000 for Super Senior Citizens

In case you have not deposited TDS by the due date, the following penalties are applicable:

• Late filing fee (if you do not file by the deadline)


• Interest (if you do not deposit the TDS amount in time)


• Penalty (if TDS is not filed within one year of the due date)
