Dear Deductor (TAN - XXXXXXXXXX),
As per new Income Tax Act, 2025, the time limit for filing TDS/TCS correction statements has been reduced to 2 years. This requires immediate compliance action to avoid penalties and issues for both your organization and your deductees.
Key Risks if Delayed: - Permanent inability to rectify errors once the time limit is over.
- Penalty under Section 461[ old section 271H] ranging from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 1,00,000.
- Disallowance of expense under Section 35(b) & 35(c) [old section40(a)(ia)] for deductors if TDS is not properly reported.
- Deductee grievances due to mismatch in Form 26AS/AIS.
Action Points: - Ensure accuracy in the original filing (PANs, challans, deduction details).
- Run validations using TRACES and reconciliation tools.
- File corrections immediately when errors are found.
- Train payroll/finance staff on new reduced timelines.
Takeaway: Timely and accurate filing ensures compliance, avoids penalties, and protects deductee trust. Regards CPC (TDS) TEAM Notes: - Please maintain updated email address and Contact Number on TRACES to receive regular periodic updates and guidelines from TRACES.
