 If TDS return is not filed within the specified due dates being 15th July, 2013 for the 1st quarter corresponding to FY 2013-14, the major consequences would be levy interest.

However in case of payments made under sec. 194A, 194C, 194H, 194I and 194J in respect of individual and HUF, only if the turnover or professional receipt exceeds sum of Rs. 1 Crore or Rs. 25 Lacs respectively in previous year, there is a requirement to deduct tax at source.

    As this post was written nearly three years ago and hence I would like to know whether the ‘Quantum of penalty or demand’ holds good even now or there is any change? Please change the date of this post to current date and also alter corrections, if any, in last two paragraphs.

      Why you keep sending back-dated information. If the rules have not changed then you can date your blog as current date. There are chances for readers to think that it is an old news. Trust you will enlighten me.

    I have received a demand of Rs. 9200/- from the IT department u/s 234E. My question is how to deposit the same (undet which challan and section, i am having both 194 C & 194 I) and how to file the correction statement.

      You may pay the amount under either of the section 94C or 94I, it does not make any difference as this levy u/s 234E isn’t in respect of any particular payment rather its nor late filing of the TDS return. In case you would like to pay online, following are the steps

      STEP 1 – Visit – https://onlineservices.tin.egov-nsdl.com/etaxnew/tdsnontds.jsp

      STEP 2 – Choose Challan 281, Fill all details as requires (Noe since you have received a notice so code for type of payment will be 400). In nature of payment use either 94C or 94I.

      STEP 3 -Proceed and confirm name of organisation. In banks website put down the amount under 234E and pay.

      STEP 4 – Wait for the challan to get updated on Oltas. Download consolidated file from TRACES and file a correction after adding that challan details and respective CSI file.

      STEP 5 – Submit the fvu file generated with form 27A, original TDS receipt and other documents as required.

      STEP 3 –

    If I forget to disclose one of the income of which TDS was already deducted and deposited. No additional tax liability.
