Why TDS Compliance Is More Critical Than You Think
TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is not just about cutting a cheque to the government. It's a multi-step compliance chain: deduct the right percentage, deposit it by the 7th of the next month, file a quarterly return by the due date, and issue Form 16/16A within 15 days.
Miss any step and you face compounding penalties: 1.5% interest per month on late payment, ₹200/day Section 234E penalty, and a 30% disallowance of the expense in your ITR. JusTax manages the entire TDS cycle for Kota businesses — from challan to certificate.
The Biggest Pain Points We Solve
Late TDS Deposit Interest
TDS must be deposited by the 7th of the following month (March deadline is April 30). Late payment costs 1.5% per month from the date of deduction — not the due date.
Section 234E Penalty
At ₹200/day, a 30-day delay on a TDS return with ₹1L deducted costs ₹6,000 in pure penalty — on top of interest. We file 10 days before every deadline.
Wrong TDS Rate Application
Different payments (rent, contractor, professional, commission) attract different TDS rates. A wrong rate triggers a demand notice. We map every payment type to the correct section.
Form 16A Generation Errors
Generating Form 16A with incorrect PAN of the deductee causes a credit mismatch in the recipient's 26AS — triggering their notice. We verify PANs before every filing.

How We Solve Real Nightmares in Kota
Problem: An Kota construction company had been deducting TDS under Section 194C (1%) on contractor bills but was actually paying technical consultants, who fall under Section 194J (10%). The income tax department raised a short-deduction demand of ₹7.4L plus interest.
Solution: We filed a rectification, submitted Form 12BB and supporting contracts proving the correct section, and reduced the demand to ₹nil after reassessment.
Problem: A commercial property owner in Kota was collecting rent of ₹1.2Cr/year from business tenants but had never deducted TDS under Section 194I.
Solution: We restructured the rent agreements, computed the catch-up TDS liability, filed correction returns for 2 years under CODS, and set up automated monthly TDS deduction going forward.
TDS Filing FAQs in Kota
What are the TDS return filing due dates in India?
TDS returns are filed quarterly. Q1 (Apr-Jun): July 31. Q2 (Jul-Sep): October 31. Q3 (Oct-Dec): January 31. Q4 (Jan-Mar): May 31. Late filing attracts a penalty of ₹200/day under Section 234E.
What happens if I miss TDS payment or filing?
Missing TDS payment attracts 1.5% per month interest. Late filing of the return attracts ₹200/day under Section 234E (subject to total tax deducted). Additionally, 30% of the expense claimed is disallowed in your ITR if TDS wasn't deducted.
What is the difference between Form 16 and Form 16A?
Form 16 is a TDS certificate issued to employees for salary TDS deducted (Section 192). Form 16A is issued for TDS on non-salary payments like professional fees, rent, and contractor payments. JusTax generates and distributes both.
