overview

What is TDS Return Filing?

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is a critical pillar of India’s tax collection system. If your business pays salaries, contractor fees, rent, professional charges, or interest — you are legally required to deduct tax at source, deposit it with the government, and file quarterly TDS returns. Getting this right matters: errors in TDS filing trigger demand notices, penalties, and disrupt your vendors’ and employees’ tax records.

At Swasthik Capitals Tax Consultancy, we provide expert TDS Return Filing services in Chennai for companies, startups, SMEs, and professionals — accurate form selection, clean challan reconciliation, and on-time filing every quarter.

💡 Did you know? If your business deducts Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on payments such as salaries, rent, professional fees, or contractor payments, filing TDS Returns on time is mandatory under tax laws.

Step-by-Step TDS Return Filing Process

Swasthik Capitals handles your entire ITR filing end-to-end — from document collection to acknowledgement delivery. Here is what the journey looks like:

1

TRACES Portal Login

We access the TRACES portal using your TAN credentials to initiate return preparation and form validation.

2

Data Collection & Validation

All payment, deduction, and challan data is collected, cross-verified, and cleaned using return preparation utility software.

3

Return Preparation

Based on the nature of payments, we prepare the return using the correct form — Form 24Q for salary, 26Q for non-salary, 27Q for foreign payments, or 27EQ for TCS.

4

Filing & Acknowledgement

Returns are filed through the NSDL/TIN portal. Form 27A is generated and submitted. Filing acknowledgement is downloaded and shared with you.

5

TDS Certificate Issuance Support

We assist in generating and issuing Form 16 (for employees) and Form 16A (for contractors and vendors) promptly after return processing.
