TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is an indirect system of deduction of tax by Indian authorities according to the
Income Tax Act, 1961 at the point of generation of income tax. Tax is deducted by the payer and is remitted to the
government by the payer, on behalf of the payee.
A TDS Return is a quarterly statement which has to be submitted to the Income Tax Department of India. Submitting
TDS Return is mandatory if you are a deductor. It has details of TDS deducted and deposited by you.
Tax Deducted at source as the name suggests collection of tax at the origin of the Income i.e. as and when income is earned. The income tax act requires that the person (deductor) who makes the payment to any other person (deductee) shall deduct at certain percentage tax while making the payment and remit the same into the account of central government on behalf of receiver of such payments.
Thus the recipient of income (deductee) receives the amount net of taxes. The recipient of income can claim credit of this TDS while filing his income tax return on the basis of FORM 26AS or TDS certificate. The TDS return is simply a statement giving quarterly summary of tax deducted along with PAN of payee (deductee), Payment details etc.
Every deductor shall file a quarterly return for Tax Deducted at Source in form as prescribe prescribed on or before due date.
