Levy u/s 234E of the Income Tax Act, 1961 is a statutory levy and cannot be waived

If the deductor is charged penalty amount u/s 234E then this penalty has to be paid to the Income Tax Department using Challan No. 281, and this penalty cannot be waived under any circumstance.

What is Section 234E ?

Section 234E – Levy of Fees:

  • Failure to submit TDS return on time will result in fees on the deductor.
  • If you delay or forget to file your TDS return, fees of Rs. 200 per day will be levied on the deductor, as long as TDS return is not filed.
  • The levied amount of fee is not supposed to exceed the TDS deductibles.
  • Prior to TDS filing such fee should be paid and it should be reflected in the TDS return.

Hi Sir,

I have recently purchased a property of approx 51 lakhs. I have made the property cost payment to the builder on 19/03/2019 and did the TDS deduction on 27/03/2019. Hence i got a notice from income tax department that i will have to pay an extra amount of rs.510. as shown below.

3(a) | Interest on late deduction | 511.00 | 0.75 | 510.25 |

Hence, Could you please confirm whether i should be charged this amount?

Thank you,
Abhinash

dear sir,
I have received notice from Income Tax Department for late filing fees U/s 234E. Im not a regular trader and dont have accounting services available on regular basis. there was marginal delay in filing of TDS return, although TDS was deposited on time. return was delayed due to improper coordination between CA and accountant.
Please advice how to waive off the penalty imposed by the department.

Can the late filing fees u/s 234E be waived off. To whom application should be made. Because in my opinion one submit an application to the ITO TDS for waiver of the same. Please clarify.

Dear Sir,

I have received notice from department u/s 234(e) late filing fees for TDS return. Now for paying the challan what to select as section code.Which section should be entered there since the return pertaining to that quarter has many sections and late filing fees is common for the whole return and not one particular section. Banks are not accepting 234(E) as section code.

Kindly Guide.

Dear TDSMAN,

I have query for CA.Suppose CA will not upload our TDS online and can not give proper answer, and penalty will arise then what to do.

Dear Sir

i have filled TDS Retunr on 26 May 2015 and i have received levy charges order Rs 2200/-

Sir,
I am a Central Govt Deductor. For FY 2014-15, my PAO provided the BIN details for Q1, Q2 and Q3 on 02 Feb 15 and thereafter, i filed the TDS returns on 28 Feb 15 for all three quarters. However, i have been issued notice for late filing u/s 234E for 42,000(Q1), 24,000(Q2) and 5600(Q3). As the delay is due to late intimation of BIN details by PAO, is it fair that the DDO is being penalised for late filing? How do I seek to redress the grievance? Thanking You in advance

Thank you for this well described procedure.

I have spent more than 5 hrs on the net and could not find clear description than this one.

To just to be sure, is this procedure applicable for notice received for Interest (u/s 200A) and Late filing fee (u/s 234E) against the late deposit of TDS on Sale of property ?

Dear Sushil,

Section 234E applies in the event of non-submission of regular TDS Returns on-time. The notice has been received owing to default in regular return.

I am documenting the process I followed after discussion as well as email confirmation from IT TDS Department.
I followed this process for the Interest and Late Fee on TDS for Property Payment. I have no idea if it is valid for any other payment.
1. Use Challan #280
2. Use your PAN. (TAN not required)
3. Use appropriate Assessment Year.
4. Fill in rest of the information and submit to go to the Bank site.
5. Add Sum of Interest + Late Fee amount in the Interest column. (YES, Interest + Late fees together)
6. Make the Payment.
7. Send the Payment Acknowledgement to contactus@tdscpc.gov.in
……
8. Wait for 10 days.
9. Check for email confirmation.
10. Check for 26AS form.

Good luck.

Very nice post Bharat,

Can you please elaborate on the appropriate assessment year. Should it be the current assessment year (2015-16) or the assessment year when the TDS was delayed.

Thanks

The assessment year should be when the payment was made/delayed. That is what I did.

Please be aware that this is not a legal advice. It is as per my understanding after discussing with TDS IT department.

Sir

I have received a notice for late fees payment under U/S 234E. I accessed Challan 281 as has been suggested here. The very first information on Challan 281 is TAN no. I do have a TAN no and never required the same even to pay the original 1% deduction. Kindly let me know if there is any other way thru which this payment can be done. Or do i have to apply for a TAN no as well

what is the challan number for payment of interest u/s 201 (1A) and penalty u/s 234 E interest for individuals. ITNS 280 is not acceptable by the bank as they are not getting section 234E in the penalty column. Pls advsie

recently received an INTIMATION U/S 200A OF THE INCOME TAX ACT, 1961 AND NOTICE OF DEMAND U/S 156 FOR THE PAYMENT OF LEVY OF FEE U/S 234E OF INCOME TAX ACT, 1961.
Basically this was due to late filing of TDS on sale of property.

Do I need to have a TAN to pay this demand as ITNS 281 asks for a TAN?
Will there be a fine if I apply for a TAN now?
Is there any other challan I can use which does not require a TAN?

Any help and clarification on this will be highly appreciated?

Dear Sir,

For govt. employees though DDO is the deductor but remitter is the treasury officer due to delay in providing BIN by treasury TDS is getting delayed and DDO is being penalised and it is unfair that IT dept.is penalising the tax payer for its inability to get deducted tax credited to its account unlike GPF.

Section 234E of the Income Tax Act- Legality and Validity challenged in the High Court of Kerala
The legality and validity of section 234 E of the Income Tax Act, 1961 inserted by the Finance Act, 2012 making a person liable to pay, by way of fee, a sum of Rs 200/-for each day’s delay in filing the statement of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) or Tax Collected at Source (TCS) is challenged in the High Court of Kerala. The levy in the nature of ‘fee’ has been challenged as illegal, arbitrary, unreasonable, invalid and unconstitutional, in a writ petition filed by a Lower Primary School in Kannur.

The Honourable High Court has admitted the writ petition and has stayed all the proceedings initiated against the petitioner under section 234E of the Income Tax Act for a period of two months. The standing counsel for the Income Tax department has taken notice for all the respondents in the writ petition.

Dear Sir,

We filled TDS return but in one case PAN was error which was rectified by filling revised return. Now dept sent me a notice asking for short deduction by inserting 206AA with 20%. Pl advice how to deal this..g

I think furnished pan was invalid. Please check that pan in traces website and file the revised etds return with correct pan.

The Short Deduction u/s 206AA is waived off upon the correction of Invalid PAN, only in case the difference between the Invalid and Valid PAN is less than or equal to 2 alphabets and /or 2 numeric characters. This is also written in the default statement that you can download from the traces website. In your case, there must be a change of more than 2 characters between the invalid PAN and the corrected PAN and hence the demand will still have to be paid.

Dear Sir,

I have paid Rs.200, but how will i file the same. i have generated the HTML, should i enclosed 27A along with HTML File?

Can the assessing officer waive the penalty?

Who will be the responsible person of the company for remitting the penalty?

Respected Sir,

In this Financial Year 2013-14 1st and 2nd quarter TDS return filling at 18th October 2013, due to Some part’s PAN number invalid and correction so, that we have return filed late.. in this issue Penalty is applicable or not, pls. advise.

Before leving the late filing fee U/s 234E, Deductors should be intimated well in advance. without any intimation, levy of Late filing fee U/s. 234E is not acceptable. Late filing Fee / Penalty clause is introduced while introducing the TDS e filing in the year 2003 itself. from 2003 to 30.6.2013 Late filing fee is not levid to any defaulter. as the Payment of Advance TAx is intimated to Tax Payers through Media viz advertisment in TV / Paper Publication etc like wise the Awarness activities to be implemented first with providng the sufficient time to deductors to clear off the any pending returns. without providing the awarness to public levy of Late filling Fee is not justifiable.

i did not deposited the demand raised by department for late filing the tds return the notice was raised in july 2013, whether there is any penalty for late depositing the demand and filing the revised return.

sir, i have filed revised return and i have received notie for payment of late deduction. now i have paid penalty, is it necessary to file the correction or revise return again for te penalty amound paid?

We do not get any notice from TDS CPC department for penalty for late filing of tds return but it is being reflected in defaults section on Traces website. What will be the minor code for payment of the aforesaid late fees – 200 or 400?

Do we need to file correction statement or just payment is sufficient? If we made payment against code no. 400, will the challan will be reflected in CSI file to be downloaded to generate the FVU file of correction statement?

Thanks

if the company have the cash flow problem, and hence the company not pay or file the return on time. they got the demand notice from income tax department for more than 50K. and now the company has no way to raise fund to pay the fee (company is going to close because there is no revenue generates).

if the case like that then how company can ask to income tax department for not to pay the demand just because there is no money with the company.

Respected Sir,

For Example,
Pan given is abcde1234f is in the name of the proprietor who is carrying his business in the name of M/s. XYZ Enterprise. In Tds return we have given deducttee name as XYZ Enterprise but PAN No is given of the proprietor .

Now, We got notice which mentioned Issue regarding PAN Error.

when we try to revise the name in the revise return we got massege that change in name not permissible and in case you change the same then your return will be rejected . Sir Please help us to solve this issue and give your suggestion.

Dear Sir,

You have got PAN error because of wrong PAN mentioned. You have to correct the PAN in revised return.

Respected Sir,

We got the tds notice from direct gaziabad via email. Then after we got justification from site. On verification of the same we come to know that tds amount has been perfectly paid and mentioned in the return but that was in following manner.

1 jitendra patel pan : abcde1234e Gross amt 5287 tds 3
2 jitendra patel pan : abcde1234e Gross amt 5287 tds 1055

i.e. in agreegate amt is 10574 and tds is 1057.

If we agreegate the tds then total tds is perfectly deposited. now we want to revise the return but as per new rule , cancellation / deletion of the raw is no longer permissible.

Please help us how we can revise the return ?

Dear Sir,

You have to modify the amount as per TDS deducted.
For example: Amount1 – 30 TDS – 3
Amount2 – 10550 TDS – 1055

Respected sir,

As per new changes in tds return , last accepted provisional receipt no.is required to be mention. In case we have written wrong provisional receipt no.then will the tds return be rejected on these ground ?

Dear Sir,

This is a new rule announced. We are still awaiting for complete documention on this subject.

TDS online payment Rs. 25 lacs done on 7th Oct, 2013, but it got rejected due to technical reason and, entry got reversed on 8th Oct, 2013. Normally, if the amount is paid late, the Interest amount chargeable is Rs. 25 lacs * 1.5 % * 2 = Rs. 50,000. However, in this case since the delay is not of the person responsible, but technical one, how could the Interest Amount be waived off.

Dear Sir,

One of my client file his original return on 06/8/13 but he want to revised the same, the int u/s234e will be applicable on original return or revised return.

Notices U/s 200A for collection of penalty U/s 234E are selectively issued by the department. There are number of deductors all over the country who have filed their etds returns belatedly. Why only very few are subjected to pay the penalty ?

Sir/Madam,

I filed Q1 for F.Y. 2013-14 only on 7-sept,2013. I used NSDL RPU uitlity software version 3.5. In that i could not validate for Q1. then we opted for a private software and filed it. The delay is only due to this problem. I received demand notice us 234e. Can it be waived?

If in a certain case TDS is not required to be deducted but the payment is made in May 13 and return is not filed yet,what is the consequence?Is it required to file nill return?

Dear Sir,

There is no provision for filing of nil return. You can use the same challan in the future quarters.

Dear Sir,

You will not be able to file the nil TDS returns as per the new notifications released by the department.

Dear Sir,
One of my clients is a Govt organization and do not have the power to disburse or sanction funds and have to take prior permission from their head office at Delhi. Since they received late payments all 4 qtrs were filed on same date i.e 21-05-2013. Now late fee u/s 234E has been charged. How to get it waived off?

Dear Sir,

You can make payment of 234E under any section viz. 194C, 194J, 192B. You have to mention the amount in the penalty field given in the challan.

Dear Sir, now a days to file a tds return one need BIN if tax is deducted from the side of Government. I am very sorry to say that TREASURY OFFICER/ACCOUNTS OFFICER is unable to provide BIN as because they have not filed 24G RETURN AND so accordingly DDO is unable to file FORM 24Q or 26Q in time. Please clarify whether DDO is liable to pay late fee if the tds return is filed late due to mistake of TREASURY OFFICER/ACCOUNTS OFFICER. Please clarify and guide me.

We have deposited the tds on time but by mistake the return has not been filed for 2nd qtr of F.Y.2012-2013 on time but at the time of filing 3rd Qtr return we have filed the 2nd Qtr return also. Now the department has imposed penalty u/s 234e. Is this penalty can be waived off. Can I file the appeal for that.

Please confirm, if, in any case CIT (Appeal) has been waived the penalty u/s 234e.
e.g. TDS not deducted from deductee, (being deposited by assessee at his cost)

sir, you give very important views but i have i question:-
i filed my TDS return with correct PAN but the department says that Your PAN is Invalid and the TDS rate is @ 20% and Demand is raises on the same

Please verify whether the PAN specified is correct or not. There can be mistake in specifying some letters of the PAN.

Sir
can we file an appeal to cit appeal against penalty order u/s 234e?
or there is any other way to avoid penalty on the returns we filed late?

Dear Sir,

Do consult your legal advisor for making an appeal before the CIT. Further, late fees can only be avoided by submitting the returns on time.

Dear sir
in revised return, how we’ll show the challan entry for late filling fees , meaning thereby in which section we should show it as there is no separate section for late filling fees ( in online return)

Dear Sir,

I Did not file 2nd qt return of tds, tds payable was Rs 15000/- for 2nd qt.

Late filing days are 281 from 15 october 2012 to 23 july 2013

What will be the Penalty amount

Rs 15000/- or Rs 281*200=56200

I also did not file the return of 3rd qt and 4th qtr.

How will i compute my Penalty amount Qtr wise or for the year as a whole

Dear Sir,

To the best of our knowledge the penalty should be amount will be 15,000. And similarly for other quarters as well, the maximum penalty amount will not exceed the tds payable for that quarter.

I have got notice for late filing of TDS u/s 234E…
How should I pay the amount online…form 281 or 280? what options should i select as 234E is not an available option in the drop box. Plz advice

Dear Sir,

You have to choose Challan No 281. The amount for TDS u/s 234E has to be entered in Penalty¢ field.

As i am going filing late TDS return i.e. for AY 2012-13, i am liable for the penalty. But can i upload my TDS return without paying the penalty.
Exactly what i wnat to know is, is it necessary to pay the penalty before filing the late return??

Dear Sir,

Payment of penalty is absolutely necessary and cannot be levied. In case you file your return with the payment then it is highly likely that you will receive a notice from the Income Tax Department for the payment of the same.

Whether it is mandatory to file the tds return if there is no deduction of tds , i mean to say should i file the return even it is nil return

We have received notice u/s200A for late filing of TDS return, now when i tried to pay online there is no section like 234E in type of payment. (Challan 281 NSDL Site- they told me to pay manually) Inquired at HDFC Babk they are not accepting manual challan. Please advice how to pay and what is to be done after payment made, how to let them know that we have paid.

Dear Sir,

While making the online payment of the challan you will find a field on Penalty¢, you can add the amount in that section. Further, it is more important to show that amount as late fee in the TDS returns you file.

Sir, I am facing the same problem bank is not accepting challan for u/c 234E please advice me.

Dear Sir,

In Challan 281 (online also) you will find a field of Penalty wherein the penalty amount should be entered.

Dear sir,

and once department is considering the late fee in nature of penalty then every penalty order is appealable. please guide weather i can go for appeal?

Dear Sir,

As per default notice, I hv paid challan for fees for late filing u/s234e.
Now ehat should be my next step,
1. should i revise the return or
2. should I reply department in any other way
Thank you

Dear Sir,

You have to make a revised/correction return where you will have to add the new payment that you have done for the payment of late fees in your return.

Dear Sir,

Request you to kindly advise me how to file a revised/correction return for TDS as i have already made payment of TDS with interest as per 234E
request you to update me the steps in filing revised TDS return online

Thank you

I have paid penalty u/s 234e as asked by the department & filed revised return twicely adding the new challan but getting mail again & again from TDS Deptt as follows – “Correction Statement filed is processed with defaults and / or PAN errors u/s 154”. & the department is still not adjusting my concerned challan and still asking to deposit the amount.
Please advise what to do to get adjust the amount paid and make the demand NIL…
Thanks in advance…

When paying challan extra tcs amount has been paid, whether it can be adjusted for payment u/s 234E

Dear Sir,

Yes, you can adjust the extra amount paid with the payment to be done u/s 234E.

While filing the correction statement by including the demand raised as per Section 234E, the correction file could not be created stating that Total TDS could not be zero. Kindly advise how to file the correction statement.

Dear Sir,

In case you are facing any problem do call us on our helpline number i.e. 033-22623535 so that we can resolve your issue at the earliest.

Dear Sir,

if I did not paid TDS amt but I deduct from deductee a/c and even not file TDS return for Q3 & Q4 of Ac Yr 2012-13. and now I want to pay. Then in which year all the deductee’s will show their TDS amt in 26AS i.e in Ac yr 12-13 or in Ac yr 13-14. and what are the charges for me and from which month. whether I have to pay late charges for not depositing tds amt or not filling TDS retun or both.

Dear Sir,

The Assessment Year will remain same for the deductees.
Further, for late payment of challans there is a interest involved, and for late filing of the returns there is penalty involved.

Dear Sir,

We didn¢t deposit TDS for June 2013 due to shortage of funds and will be remitting TDS by 31st July 2013 with interest. Do we attract Sec 234 E penalty for late filing of return

Dear Sir,
TDS return for fourth quarter was not filed as there was no deduction of TDS during the quarter. Subsequently, during Tax Audit it was found that TDS is required on certain payment and TDS is deposited alongwith Interest. Now, at the time of filing TDS return, will there be penalty for late filing of TDS return?

In case there are penalties, this sounds hardship to the assessee. Please advise course of action required.

Dear Sir,

Penalty will be involved if you are filing the regular return for 4th quarter now and this cannot be levied as per the Income Tax Department instructions.

To avoid penalties in the future you should file a nil return when you don¢t have any TDS for a particular quarter. This would save you from penalty as it is not charged on the filing of correction return.

i filled my tds return of quarter 2 of financial year 2012-13 on 14 dec,2012.Reason behind to not filling of TDS Return on due date was late allotment of TAN No.Now what i further do to avoid penalty u/s 234E.

Dear Sir,

As per the notification by the department charges u/s 234 E cannot be levied. You can contact your Assessing Officer if you have reason behind not filing of the return.

If we do not pay before filing the etds statement, whether the nsdl centre will ACCEPT AND CAN upload the same. We are able to generated the fvu file successfully without paying interest U/s 234E using the new FVU UTILITY

Dear Sir,

There will be no problem in uploading.

However, you may receive the notice of paying the late fees and filing correction return if you have submitted your returns after the due date.

Hello All

Could you please guide me how to do TDS payment under 234E

Im not getting 234E option on challan 281 ?????

Due to E-governance in government departments, the rate of issuing notices have increased significantly.

Many assessees received notice for late filing of TDS. The general faq was how to pay the Late Filing fee u/s 234E and what is the next procedure?

The Procedure is:

Go to online payment link.

Select CHALLAN NO./ITNS 281.

Fill the basic details and pay.

After paying we need to file the correctional statement.

For correction statement download the file from Traces after login to your account.

And update the challan details than refile the return.(Basically its a revision of original return with challan details updation)

In case if one of the deductee is left out in the return and after due date correction is done in the statement then will this penalty be applicable?

Sir,

We are supplying goods(ONLY SUPPLY) to Karnataka Forest Department and they are deducting TDS from our payment,are they eligible to deduct TDS under which section,please clarify.

we have filed our original return for Q 1 for F.Y. 14-15 on 06.01.2015 and shows Rs. 1000/- excess payment for which no deductee entered. we revised this return by adding deductee on 19.02.2015. we have received Notice U/s. 234 for Additional leavy for Rs. 1000/- other than late fees for 234E (Rs. 14,444) Is this correct to leavy Rs. 1000/-

I you changed 2 characters in the pan then its ok, but if you changed whole pan no then the return will be treated as new TDS return and you will be charged late fees and interest
