TDS is a calendar and a coding problem before it is a return problem. Wrong sections, late deposits, PAN errors and salary-versus-perquisite gaps produce defaults, interest and notices that are expensive to unwind. N Avinash and Associates runs TDS and TCS as a monthly discipline: what should have been deducted, what was deposited, what was reported, and what 26AS will show the other party.
The tax-and-automation desk maps vendor masters and payroll to sections 192, 194C, 194J, 194Q, 194I and the rest of the chapter as they actually apply to the client’s contracts — not to a default “194C for everyone.” Lower-deduction certificates, NRI payments and 195 / 195A overlays are scoped separately.
Scope of work
- TAN hygiene, deductee master clean-up and section mapping
- Monthly deduction and challan calendar, including salary TDS
- Form 26Q, 24Q, 27Q and TCS returns, with correction statements where needed
- Form 16 / 16A issuance aligned to what was actually deposited
- 26AS / AIS bridges for the company’s own income and for material deductees
- Default notices, justification reports and compounding / correction paths
- 194Q / 206C(1H) overlays against the purchase and sales registers
Payroll TDS is reconciled to the salary register and to PF / PT where those apply. Vendor TDS is reconciled to the expense ledger so a tax-audit 34A clause does not become a surprise. Hyderabad companies that outsource only the XML still own the defaults; this engagement owns the coding and the calendar as well.
Where a notice or a justification report is open, the reply is built from challans and deductee-wise workings, not from a portal screenshot. The same file supports the tax audit and, if needed, a buyer’s tax diligence.
