People who make certain payments, such as rent, commission, professional fees, salary, interest, etc., are required to deduct income tax from the money they pay.

At the time of paying the employee’s salary, the employer deducts TDS return from the salary. Employees are responsible for deducting and depositing their employee money to the government on behalf of the employee.

TDS was introduced as a way to collect taxes from the source of income. This concept states that a person (deductor) who makes payments of specified nature to any other individual (deductee) shall deduct tax at the source and deposit it into the Central Government’s account.

In the event income tax has been deducted at source from the deductee’s income, the deductor must issue Form 26AS or TDS certificates to the deductee for the credit.

The following pre-requisites must be met before a TDS statement can be uploaded:

• TDS can only be uploaded by users who hold a valid TAN and are registered in e-Filing.

• It is recommended to prepare the statement using the Return Preparation Utility (RPU) and to validate it using the File Validation Utility (FVU). Download the utilities at http://www.tin-nsdl.com/.

• An e-Filing account should be registered with a valid DSC. (For DSC uploading)
• Pre-validate the Principal Contact’s “Bank Accounts/Demat Accounts” or link. The PAN of the Principal Contact should be linked to the Aadhaar number. Uploading EVC files is necessary (for uploading).
