TDS Filing

Understanding TDS Return Filing: 

Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a mechanism where tax is deducted at the source of income, such as salaries, rent, interest, etc., by the deductor (payer) and deposited to the government on behalf of the deductee (recipient). 

As a deductor, you are responsible for filing TDS returns electronically, summarizing the TDS deducted and deposited for a specific quarter.
