Form 26Q Filing every non-salary deduction, every quarter.
Quarterly Form 26Q filing for TDS on all non-salary domestic payments — contractor payments under 194C, rent under 194I, professional fees under 194J, purchases under 194Q, interest, commission, and many more — cleanly reconciled and validated.
Form 26Q is the workhorse of business TDS compliance. Every quarter, businesses must report deductions under Sections 193 to 196D — covering interest other than securities, contractor payments, brokerage and commission, professional fees, rent, purchase of goods, and a long list of other domestic payments. The form is filed quarterly on the TRACES portal.
Form 26Q errors are also the most common source of CPC-TDS defaults. Common issues include wrong section code (194C for what should be 194J, or 194I for what should be 194IA), wrong rate (10% for a vendor whose PAN is inoperative), challan mismatches between book and bank, missing PANs, and improperly applied Section 197 lower-deduction certificates.
Our 26Q practice is built around a structured pre-filing review. We collect deduction data from accounting and ERP, verify every PAN, map each challan, validate the section code against the underlying transaction, apply lower-deduction certificates where available, and only then generate the FVU. Result: clean returns, fewer defaults, faster Form 16A to deductees, and a deductor record that holds up at audit.
