Amendment in eTDS return filing due dates and procedures w.e.f 01st June 2016

Recent amendments in Income Tax Rules, 1962 in relation to filing of quarterly e-TDS returns.

1.       As per Notification no 39/2016 dated 31^st May 2016, Central Board of Direct taxes (CBDT) has amended Rule 31A of Income Tax Rules, 1962 and accordingly the due date for filing quarterly e-TDS returns with effect from 1^st June 2016 would be as follows:

Date of ending of quarter of financial year	Revised Due Dates to file e-TDS return	Previous Due Dates
30th June	31st July	15th July
30th September	31st October	15th October
31st December	31st January	15th January
31st March	31st May	15th May

2.       Further as per Notification No 11/2016 dated 22^nd June 2016,  CBDT has initiated the process of online filing the e-TDS returns as against the current process of physically submitting them to the NSDL department. To avail this facility, the Company has to create a ‘Tax Deductor and Collector’ account on the Income Tax E-filing website. The return can be uploaded through this account by using the Digital Signature Certificate of the authorised person.

Kindly note that submitting the TDS returns online is not mandatory and the company can continue to file the return as per the current process i.e. by submitting the Form 27A to the NSDL department.
