Quarterly salary TDS returns under Section 192 — accurate employee-wise TDS computation, Form 12BB reconciliation, challan matching, and Form 16 generation from TRACES.

Form 24Q is the quarterly TDS return filed by employers for tax deducted from employees’ salary under Section 192 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. It is one of the most complex TDS returns because it requires employee-wise income and deduction data, correct application of slab rates, integration of Form 12BB declarations, and reconciliation across all four quarters of the financial year.

The Q4 return (for the January to March quarter) is particularly important: it contains the complete annual salary, deductions, and tax computation for each employee in Annexure II, and forms the basis for generating Form 16 — the salary TDS certificate that employees need for their income tax filings. Errors in Q4 Form 24Q directly translate to errors in Form 16 and mismatches in employees’ AIS/Form 26AS.

We manage the complete Form 24Q lifecycle for employers — from collecting employee Form 12BB data and computing monthly TDS to filing quarterly returns, generating challans, validating through FVU, filing within deadlines, and generating Form 16 from TRACES for all employees after Q4 filing.

Correct application of the applicable tax regime (new or old) for each employee based on their option declaration.

Our Process

1

Payroll Data Collection

We collect monthly salary data, Form 12BB declarations, perquisite valuations, and challan details for the quarter.

2

TDS Computation & Verification

Employee-wise TDS is computed and reconciled with amounts already deducted in the payroll system.

3

Challan Reconciliation

TDS challans are matched against OLTAS records and any discrepancies are resolved before return preparation.

4

FVU Validation & Filing

The quarterly return is prepared, validated through FVU, and filed on the TIN-NSDL portal within the due date.

5

Form 16 Generation

After Q4 acceptance, Form 16 Part A is downloaded from TRACES for all employees, merged with employer-prepared Part B, and issued.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 (April–June): 31 July. Q2 (July–September): 31 October. Q3 (October–December): 31 January. Q4 (January–March): 31 May (for non-government deductors). Late filing attracts ₹200 per day under Section 234E.
Form 16 must be issued to employees by 15 June of the year following the financial year to which it relates — i.e., 15 June 2025 for FY 2024–25. Failure to issue Form 16 within this deadline attracts a penalty of ₹100 per day per certificate under Section 272A(2)(g).
Form 24Q is the quarterly TDS return filed by the employer with the government — it is the employer’s compliance document. Form 16 is the TDS certificate issued by the employer to the employee — it is the employee’s evidence of TDS deducted and their income details. Form 16 Part A is generated from TRACES based on the Form 24Q data filed.
If the employee’s PAN is incorrect, the TDS credit does not appear in their Form 26AS. The employee cannot claim the TDS in their ITR, and the employer faces a TDS default for deducting at a rate lower than required under Section 206AA (20%). A PAN correction statement must be filed through TRACES.
An employee can declare their regime preference at the beginning of the year, and can change it once during the year. The employer adjusts the TDS computation from the point of change. A final adjustment is made in the last month to ensure the correct total TDS is deducted for the year.
Annexure II in Q4 Form 24Q contains the complete annual salary statement for each employee — salary paid, perquisites, deductions claimed (HRA, 80C, 80D etc.), taxable salary, tax computed, and TDS deducted. It forms the basis for generating Form 16 from TRACES and is the most critical component of the Form 24Q filing.
