Revise TDS Returns Online

Filing an accurate TDS return is crucial. Errors in TDS returns can lead to penalties, delays in refunds, and notices from the tax authorities. If you have made a mistake in your TDS return, you can revise it online to avoid compliance issues.The Income Tax Department allows businesses to revise their TDS returns online to correct errors. Let’s explore the process and how Filing Buddy can simplify it for you.

 

What is a TDS Return?

A TDS return is a statement that businesses or employers file every quarter to report the tax deducted from payments like salaries, professional fees, and rent. This report is submitted to the Income Tax Department to keep records of tax deductions.

However, mistakes can happen while filing a TDS return, such as:

  • Wrong PAN details of the deductee (the person whose tax is deducted)
  • Incorrect tax amount deducted
  • Errors in Challan details
  • Incorrect deduction section codes

These errors need to be fixed by revising the TDS return. 

 

Common Mistakes in TDS Returns That Need Correction

Before revising, it’s important to identify the mistakes in your original return. Some common errors include:

  • Wrong PAN details: If the deductee's PAN is incorrect, their TDS credit won’t reflect in their tax records.
  • Mismatch in Challan details: Incorrect challan numbers or amounts can cause processing issues.
  • Wrong tax amount deducted: If you deduct less or more TDS than required, it needs to be corrected.
  • Incorrect section code: TDS rates differ based on income type. If you use the wrong section (e.g., 194J for professional fees instead of 194C for contractor payments), it needs to be fixed.
  • Late filing errors: Filing TDS returns after the due date results in penalties and needs rectification.

 

What Happens if You Don’t Correct a TDS Return?

If errors in your TDS return are not corrected, it can lead to: 

  • Penalties – The Income Tax Department may impose a fine of up to ₹1,00,000 for incorrect PAN details.
  • Interest Charges – Under-deducted tax leads to additional interest payments.
  • TDS Credit Issues – Deductees won’t be able to claim their TDS credit, causing inconvenience.
  • Processing Delays – Refunds or further tax assessments may be affected.

That’s why filing a revised TDS return is crucial.

 

Steps to Revise Your TDS Return Online

Follow these simple steps to correct your TDS return online:

Step 1: Check the Mistakes

First, download your filed TDS return and cross-check all details. You can do this by logging into the TRACES (TDS Reconciliation Analysis and Correction Enabling System) portal.

Step 2: Get the Consolidated (Conso) File

  • Visit the TRACES website (www.tdscpc.gov.in).
  • Log in using your TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number).
  • Request a Consolidated File (Conso File) – This contains all the details of your original TDS return.

Step 3: Download the File and Open in the RPU Software

  • Once your Conso File is available, download it.
  • Open the file using the Return Preparation Utility (RPU) software provided by NSDL.
  • Make the required corrections in the file.

Step 4: Validate and Generate the Revised Return

  • After correcting the errors, validate the return using the File Validation Utility (FVU).
  • The FVU will generate a .fvu file, which is required for submission.

Step 5: Upload the Revised TDS Return

  • Log in to the TIN-NSDL website (www.tin-nsdl.com).
  • Select the correct financial year and form type.
  • Upload the .fvu file along with the digital signature certificate (DSC).
  • Submit the revised return.

Step 6: Track the Status

After submission, track your request by:

  • Logging into TRACES.
  • Checking under the Correction Status tab.

 

Time Limit for Revising TDS Returns

There is no fixed deadline for revising a TDS return, but it should be done as soon as errors are identified. However, to avoid penalties and ensure compliance, consider these guidelines:

  • Before the end of the financial year – It’s best to revise the return before the financial year closes to avoid complications.
  • Before processing by the Income Tax Department – If the original return has been processed and tax credit statements are generated, revising late may cause mismatches in deductees’ records.
  • Within one year from the end of the financial year – If the return has errors, corrections should ideally be made within this period to prevent penalties.

Important: Late revisions may attract penalties under Section 234E (₹200 per day) and Section 271H (up to ₹1,00,000 for incorrect returns not revised in time).

 

Fees and Penalties for TDS Mistakes

Here’s what you should know about penalties:

  • Late Filing Fee: ₹200 per day (under Section 234E) until the return is filed, subject to a maximum of the TDS amount.
  • Incorrect PAN Penalty: ₹10,000 to ₹1,00,000 (under Section 272B) for incorrect PAN entries.
  • Interest on Late Payment: If TDS is deducted but not deposited on time, interest at 1.5% per month applies.

 

How to Avoid TDS Errors in the Future?

  • Double-check PAN details before filing.
  • Use TDS calculation tools to avoid deduction errors.
  • Verify challan payments before submission.
  • File returns on time to avoid late fees.
  • Use automated accounting software to minimize mistakes.
