Due Date of TDS

What are the due dates for TDS?

Payment of TDS each month and filing of quarterly return of TDS are 2 separate processes and due dates for these processes are different

The due dates for the payment of the deducted TDS are on or before 7th of next month. It mena, if the deductor has deducted tax from payments in month of November, then he has to pay the TDS  on or before 7th of December. Key point to note here is that the due dates are same for all type of assesses whether its Salaried case or non-salaried case.

These due dates are applicable to all non-Government assesses and also to Government assessees who deposit tax with Challan as specified by income tax department.  If the challans are not used to make payment of TDS by government assesses, then the due date for payment of TDS will be the same day on which the amount is deducted.
