I had filed my company TDS return for the 4th Qtr FY 2015-16 on time but missed out 1 deductee detail to enter. Now i want to revise or rectify the return, please guide me on the fees if any i have to pay before revising my return.
Dear Sir,
We had booked a flat in May 2015 last year. It is u/C. We had paid the initial B.A on 01-06-2015, however the builder didn’t inform about the TDS obligations and/or due date for the same. Hence though it is us the buyer who has to making the payment, due to the negligence of the builder not informing us we didn’t pay it. We then deposited the tax for BA which was ₹5864.00 on 19-05-2016 by paying 50:50 one from mine and my wife’s account as the sale agreement is on my wife and my name. We then received a intimation from ITO for TDS penalties on 02-06-2016 with the following for each my wife and me.
2. Interest on Payments Defaults u/s 201
2(a) Interest on Late Payment: 1008.00
4. Late Filing Fee u/s 234E
4(a) Late Filing Levy : 5684.64
Default Payable : 3345.64
Rounding-off : 4.36
Net Payable : 3350.00
Me and my wife have to pay 3350. But we would like to inform the builder to consider this due to his negligence as he had agreed to consider this issue due to his fault of not having a system in place to inform all owners. Please let me know how to draft an email to builder requesting to take this penalty into consideration and pay it off.

I have file my original return on that particular date but i forgot to add one Deductee, Am I liable for any late filling fees
Dear Avinash,
Just file a correction return for it. Late fees will not be applicable.
If there is a delay in filing TDS statement and if we didnt reflect the challan(234E) in the statement will it be acceptable by TIN-FC?
Dear Vanapalli,
It will be accepted but later you may get the notice for submitting the penalty.
Dear Sir,
Regarding Late Fee U/s 234E
Prior to filing of TDS Statement such fee should be paid and it should be reflected in the TDS Statement.
We calculate the late fee at the time of filling TDS Statement and paid through challan.
Problem is the challan will not reflect in TIN Website for downloading csi file.
So how it is possible to reflect the challan in TDS Statement?

Sir,
We have received a notice rs 58000/- against penalty for late filing tds return for f.y. 2012-13, what is calculation ?
I have filed nil TDS return for the first quarter of F.Y. 2013-14.Is it possible to file nil return as i am not getting the consolidated file from Traces site due to non-availibility of deductor PAN & amount.
Even I faced similar problem.
Wait till you pay TDS in next quarter and file that return. Then register on basis of latest return.
Or if you think there will not be any TDS payment by client for next few quarters, pay nominal Rs.10 TDS and file return on that basis.

Chintan

How can we file TDS return for late fee?under which section can we show the late fee and what about the deductee details to be given for that particular challan?
Dear Sir,
My client received a notice demanding for late filing fee for the financial year 2012-13 Q2, Is it compulsory to file revised return after payment of the said amount?
Yes. You have to file Revised TDS Return also.
My client had to deposit TDS on rent for period april 2013 onwards for this year.
He hasnt.
So now while he wishes to pay that amount along with interest. My question is this:
1.do we need to file TDS return for Q1 and Q2 along with interest (we will have to bear late filing fees!)?
2. Or can we file return for Q3 directly showing all those amounts as deducted late? In this case, do we still need to file NIL return for Q1/Q2 ?
earlier we can put all details of previous qtrs in current qtrs . Now as per new rules, one cannot put earlier date of deduction in current qtr however one can show late deduction and hence can file the return . You can prevent fees for late filing of previous qtrs since it would be considered as nil return. so go for current qtr with late deduction. interest amt shall be less than penalty fee.
Dear Sir,
I had no idea about the late fee for filing of TDS quarterly returns. Now a notice was received from the IT department to pay around one lakh for the late filing fee for 3 returns of 2012-2013. This amount is so big for me to pay.
Is there any possibility to get any discount in the amount or to exempt from payment.
I have paid fees under section 234e for late return filing.
but I want know how I can shown this penalty in e-tds return & under which head? pls reply asap.
This mandatory for all TDS payees who does not submit return on or before the due date form that day to the preceding days that lapsed off, he should pay Rs.200/- a day that should not exceed the amount of the TDS payable.

MY QUESTION IS I HAVE A DEMAND OF TDS LATE FILLING OF FY-2012-13 QUATER 2 RS.1610 I JUST ASK YOU WHAT CODE OF THIS FEE CODE JASIE KI 94 C
Dear Sir,
You can submit in any section code. Make sure you enter the amount in Fee field of the challan.
The levied amount of fee is not supposed to exceed the TDS deductibles…
what does it means ?
Dear Sir,
For example if you have submitted the 5 days late, then you will be charged penalty of Rs 1000. However, if the total deduction done for that return is Rs. 900, then penalty amount will be Rs.900.
It means in any case, the penalty amount may not increase the actual amount on which penalty levied…
further if in any case amount calculated as penalty is exceeding the actual amount then only actual amount shall be pay.
Yes
It means, If TDS Amount is Rs 2000/- for a quarter and u filed late of 15 days means( 15*200 Rs= 3000/-) then penalty amount is 2000/- and 3000/- not applicable.
Dear Sir,
You assumption is correct as per our knowledge.
