Sanjay ki firm ne har quarter TDS return file kiya, phir bhi ek din TRACES par 'default' dikhne laga: demand ₹18,420. Ye kisi bhi chhote business ke liye ghabrahat wali baat hai, lekin zyadatar cases mein ye default technical hota hai: challan ka mismatch, PAN ka error ya thodi late deposit. Is guide mein hum dekhenge ki TDS default kitne prakar ke hote hain, TRACES par justification report kaise nikalte hain, aur sudhaar ka sahi tarika kya hai.
Quick Summary
- TDS default ka matlab hai TDS return aur payment mein kuch galti: short deduction, short payment, late deduction/deposit, ya PAN/challan mismatch
- TRACES par login karke 'Justification Report' se default ki wajah pata chalti hai
- Late deposit par 1.5% per month aur late deduction par 1% per month interest
- Late return par Section 234E ke tahat ₹200 per day fee
- Correction statement file karke ya demand pay karke default close kiya jaata hai
TDS Default Ke Main Prakar
| Default | Matlab | Aam wajah |
|---|---|---|
| Short deduction | Jitna TDS katna chahiye tha usse kam kata | Galat rate, PAN na hone par 20% na lagana |
| Short payment | Kata gaya TDS poora jama nahi hua | Challan ki rakam kam bhari gayi |
| Late deduction | TDS wahi samay par nahi kata jab katna chahiye tha | Payment ya credit ke baad mahino tak intezaar |
| Late deposit | Katne ke baad 7 tareekh ke baad deposit hua | Challan late jama hua |
| Late filing | Return due date ke baad file hua | Quarter ka return miss ho gaya |
| Challan/PAN mismatch | Return mein diya challan ya PAN department ke record se match nahi karta | Typing error |
Interest Aur Fee Ka Hisaab
- Late deduction par interest: 1% per month, jis din TDS katna tha uss din se jis din kata gaya tab tak (part month bhi poora maana jaata hai).
- Late deposit par interest: 1.5% per month, katne ki date se jama hone ki date tak.
- Late filing fee (Section 234E): ₹200 per day jab tak return file nahi hota, par TDS ki rakam se zyada nahi.
- Late filing par aur bhi penalty (Section 271H) ₹10,000 se ₹1,00,000 tak ho sakti hai, jab tak return time par ya TDS, interest aur fee ke saath ek saal ke andar file na ho.
- Expense disallowance: jis payment par TDS nahi kata, uska 30% expense ke taur par allow nahi hota.

Example
Sanjay ne ₹1,00,000 ki contractor payment par ₹1,000 TDS 20 April ko kata, lekin challan 25 June ko jama kiya. Late deposit ke 3 mahine (part month mila kar) = ₹1,000 × 1.5% × 3 = ₹45 interest. Chhoti rakam lagti hai, lekin agar 26Q bhi late file hua to ₹200/din ka fee aur jod dena padega, isliye time par file karna zaroori hai.
TRACES Par Justification Report: Step by Step
- TRACES (tdscpc.gov.in) par TAN se login karein.
- Menu mein 'Defaults' ya 'Statements/Payments' mein 'Request for Justification Report' chunein.
- Financial year aur quarter select karein aur request submit karein.
- Report generate hone ke baad (aam taur par kuch ghante se kuch din) 'Requested Downloads' mein jaakar download karein.
- Report mein default ka type, rakam aur wajah (jaise challan mismatch, PAN invalid) dikhegi.
Justification report ko dhyan se padhein. Kai cases mein default asli nahi hota, balki bas challan ke detail ya PAN mein typing error hota hai, jise correction se theek kiya ja sakta hai.
Default Ko Kaise Sudharein
| Wajah | Sudhaar |
|---|---|
| Challan details galat | Correction statement mein sahi CIN (BSR code, date, serial no.) dalen |
| PAN galat ya invalid | PAN verify karke correction statement file karein |
| Short deduction ya late payment | Demand ki rakam (tax + interest) challan se bharein |
| Short payment | Baaki ki TDS challan se jama karein aur correction file karein |
| Late return fee/penalty | 234E fee bharein; penalty par reply ya appeal dekhein |
Correction statement TRACES par online file hota hai. Correction ke baad department ka demand update hota hai, jisme thoda samay lag sakta hai. Demand bharne ke baad bhi 26AS mein update dekhte rahein.
Demand Pay Karne Ka Tarika
- TRACES ya NSDL ke portal se challan 281 mein TDS ka demand bharein (tax, interest, fee ke alag-alag heads).
- Challan ki detail ko TRACES mein 'Challan Correction' se link karein.
- Payment ke baad 'Default Summary' dekhein ki demand zero hua ya nahi.
Aage Se Default Se Kaise Bachein
- Hamesha PAN verify karke hi payment karein.
- Har mahine ki 7 tareekh ka calendar set karein.
- Challan bharne ke baad CIN ki copy save karein.
- Quarter ka return time par file karein, aur file karne se pehle challan details books se match karein.
- Har quarter ke baad 26AS aur TRACES par check karein ki deductee ko credit mila ya nahi.
Common Mistakes
- Default notice ko ignore karna.
- Interest ki rakam ko dhyan se calculate kiye bina payment karna.
- Correction statement file karne ke bajay demand bhar dena, jabki galti sirf typing ki thi.
- Justification report dekhe bina CA ko batana ki demand aaya hai.
- Deductee ka PAN verify na karna.
- Bar-bar default aane par bhi process fix na karna.
