Lesson 18: Tax Deducted at Source
Tax deducted at source is one of the modes of collecting Income-tax from the assessees. Such
collection of tax is effected at the source when income arises or accrues. Hence, where any
specified type of income arises or accrues to any one, the Income-tax Act enjoins on the payer of
such income to deduct a stipulated percentage of such income by way of Income-tax and pay only
the balance amount to the recipient of such income.
The tax so deducted at source by the payer has to be deposited in the Government treasury to the
credit of Central Government within the specified time. The tax so deducted from the income of
the recipient is deemed to be payment of Income-tax by the recipient at the time of his assess-
ment.
The person responsible for deducting Tax at source is liable to issue a certificate to the person
from whom the tax is deducted, so that the person can submit the same to Income Tax authorities.

18.5.4 eTDS Returns
With the automation of collection, compilation and processing of TDS returns, ITD notified Elec-
tronic Filing of Returns of Tax Deducted at Source Scheme 2003. Under this scheme :
It is mandatory (w.e.f. June 1, 2003) for corporate deductors to furnish their TDS returns in
electronic form (e-TDS return).
From F.Y. 2004-2005 onwards furnishing TDS returns in electronic form is also mandatory
for government deductors in addition to corporate deductors.
Deductors (other than government and corporates) may file TDS return in electronic or
physical form.
National Securities Depository Ltd. (NSDL) is the e-TDS Intermediary (appointed by ITD) to
receive the e-TDS returns from the deductors, on behalf of ITD.
Deductors furnishing e-TDS returns are required to furnish a control chart - Form 27A in physical
form along with the e-TDS return furnished in CD/floppy. Form 27A is a summary of TDS return
(Form 24, 26 or 27), which contains control totals of Amount Paid and Income tax deducted at
source. The control totals mentioned on Form 27A should match with the corresponding control
totals in e-TDS return file. Form 27A is required to be furnished separately for each TDS return
(Form 24, 26 or 27).
The deductors / collectors preparing e-TDS returns are required to validate their returns with the
File Validation Utility (a freely downloadable utility developed by NSDL), to conform to the pre-
scribed format.
In Tally.ERP 9, the eReturn menu displays the eTDS Quarterly/ Annual Forms, which can be
exported and validated with the File Validation Utility.
To view the E-TDS Forms
Go to Gateway of Tally > Display > Statutory Reports > TDS Reports > E–Return > E–TDS
In our examples, we have not considered payments made to Non-residents.
Hence, the Form 27Q, Form 27 and Annexure to Form 27Q will appear
blank.
