If you're an employer, startup, HR manager, or accountant responsible for managing payroll, then you already know how important it is to deduct and file TDS on salaries properly. As per the Income Tax Act, 1961, every employer who deducts TDS from salaries must file a TDS Return using Form 24Q every quarter.
Missing this can cause hefty penalties, interest, and notices from the tax department—and that’s where CallMyCA steps in to make your TDS filing process simple, quick, and 100% compliant.
Whether you’re running a business with 2 employees or 200, we handle your Form 24Q filing with full accuracy, timely reminders, and expert CA-level oversight. No need to worry about changing laws, Excel sheets, or TRACES errors—we’ll take care of everything while you focus on running your business.
Form 24Q is the quarterly statement filed by employers to report TDS deducted from employees' salaries. It needs to be filed four times a year—for the months ending June, September, December, and March.
The form is submitted on the TRACES portal and includes:
The last quarter (Q4) also contains Form 16 data, which is the TDS certificate given to employees by June 15 each year.
Filing Form 24Q every quarter is mandatory for employers who deduct TDS on salaries. It keeps your business compliant with income tax laws and avoids legal trouble.
Late or incorrect filing can result in penalties of ₹200 per day. Timely and accurate 24Q filing saves money by avoiding such fines.
Form 24Q data is used to generate Form 16 for employees. If it's filed correctly and on time, your employees will get their Form 16 without delay, helping them file their returns smoothly.
Filing 24Q ensures that the TDS deducted from employee salaries is correctly shown in their Form 26AS. This gives employees peace of mind and prevents confusion during their ITR filing.
Timely deduction and correct TDS return filing show that the employer is professional and responsible, building trust with current and future employees.
Filing 24Q requires you to maintain structured salary, allowance, and deduction data. This helps companies manage payroll more effectively and transparently.
When employees apply for a visa or loan, they need Form 16 and Form 26AS. Proper 24Q filing ensures these documents are accurate and available on time.
Accurate filing of 24Q helps both the employer and employee avoid future tax mismatches, notices, or disputes related to salary income and TDS.
Regular and error-free TDS filings help maintain a good reputation with the Income Tax Department, which is useful during audits or inspections.
