How the TDS dates work

  • Deduct in a month → deposit by the 7th of the next month; TDS deducted in March is deposited by 30 April.
  • Quarterly statements (Forms 138 salary / 140 non-salary / 144 non-resident) are due the month after the quarter; the Q4 statement is due 31 May 2027.
  • Form 16A (non-salary TDS certificate) is issued within 15 days of the return due date.
  • The salary certificate Form 130 (earlier Form 16) is due by 15 June 2027.
  • Missed a date? Late deposit attracts interest u/s 201(1A) and a late return attracts ₹200/day u/s 234E — compute it here.

Frequently asked questions

When must TDS deducted in March be deposited?
By 30 April 2027 for FY 2026-27 — not the 7th. This is the only month with a different deposit date.
What is the due date for the Q1 TDS return?
The Q1 (April–June 2026) TDS return is due 31 July 2026. Quarterly returns are due the end of the month following each quarter, except Q4 which is 31 May.
When are TDS certificates issued?
Form 16A (non-salary) is issued within 15 days of the return due date — e.g. 15 Aug 2026 for Q1. The salary certificate Form 130 (earlier Form 16) is due by 15 June 2027.
What if I miss a TDS due date?
Late deposit attracts interest under Section 201(1A) and a late return attracts a fee of ₹200/day under Section 234E, capped at the TDS. The interest & late-fee calculator works it out.
