Additionally, TCS is required to file returns every quarter to report the details of the collected and deposited amount of tax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process is called e-filing TCS Return, which is entirely done through online portals provided by the Income Tax Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-tj-custom-product-block-custom-product-card custom-product-card-plugin-style\" id=\"tagged_prod_container_12672\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"easyoffice\"><\/span>EasyOFFICE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>E-Filing is crucial to ensure that the collected tax is accurate and up to date.

This is very basic, but the most crucial factor that can cause rejection. Therefore, double-check the information before saving the file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Filing the Wrong Form:<\/strong> The form to file the TCS return is 27EQ. However, many people get confused and use the wrong form, which leads to rejection. Hence, make sure to choose the right form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Incorrect Challan Details: <\/strong>When entering Challan details, you may enter incorrect information such as BSR code, date, amount, or Challan number. Thus, it is vital to ensure that you are entering correct information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Filing after the Due Date: <\/strong>Filing the TCS return before the deadline is another important thing. If you failed to file it before the time, you may face penalties or interest on the tax collected. Thus, make sure to file it every quarter, within the prescribed quarterly due dates (typically 15th of the month following the quarter).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not Verifying the Return: <\/strong>In step 4, forgetting to verify your return through DSC or EVC will be marked as an incomplete TCS return process. So, ensure that after you upload the .fvu file on the website, you need to verify your return through any of the ways.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\">\n<strong>Suggested Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techjockey.com\/blog\/compliance-calendar\">Quarterly Compliance Calendar for Indian Businesses<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-penalties-for-non-compliance-in-e-filing-tcs-returns\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"penalties_for_non-compliance_in_e-filing_tcs_returns\"><\/span>Penalties for Non-Compliance in e-Filing TCS Returns<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Failing to file your TCS return or filing it late can lead you to pay late fees and penalties under the Income Tax Act. Let\u2019s discuss some penalties for non-compliance and what you must know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-tj-custom-product-block-custom-product-card custom-product-card-plugin-style\" id=\"tagged_prod_container_2994\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"gen_income_tax_\"><\/span>GEN Income Tax <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Late Filing Fee: <\/strong>You need to pay INR 200 per day of delay under section 234E. The maximum amount of the late fee cannot exceed the TCS payable. For example, the tax payable is INR 2,000, and you are late in filing a return for 20 days, then the late filing fee would be INR 200 \u00d7 20 days = INR 4,000. Since the fee cannot exceed the TCS payable amount, you only have to pay INR 2,000.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Penalties for Incorrect or Non-Filing: <\/strong>If you have provided wrong information or did not file the return within the due date, you must pay a penalty under 271H. In this case, the minimum penalty will be INR 10,000 and the maximum would be INR 1,00,000. This penalty is in addition to the late fee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interest on Late Deposit: <\/strong>If TCS is collected but not deposited with the government on time, interest is charged under section 206C(7) at 1.5% per month or part of a month, from the date of collection to the date it is actually paid. This rate was increased from 1% to 1.5% with effect from April 1, 2025. This interest is separate from the late filing fee or penalties mentioned above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-due-dates-for-filing-tcs-returns\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"due_dates_for_filing_tcs_returns\"><\/span>Due Dates for Filing TCS Returns<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tax Collected at Source (TCS) is important to fill out every quarter using the Form 27EQ to avoid late fees and penalties.
