APPLICABILITY OF FORM 24Q

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the applicability of Form 24Q for employers, particularly when no Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is applicable due to low employee salaries. Even if no TDS is deducted, filing Form 24Q for the fourth quarter is generally required to report total salary paid and submit Annexure II. This is often necessary for issuing Form 16 to employees.

29 May 2025 One of my client is liable for tax audit For FY 2025-26 they have only 2 employees both of them have a salary of Rs 600000 p.a. each therefore no tax after rebate u/s 87A in new regime and no liablity to deduct tds. Are they still liable to file form 24q?

29 May 2025 For the fourth quarter, you are required to file Form 24Q to report the total salary paid during the year, even if no TDS was deducted. This is because Annexure II (which details annual salary and deductions for each employee) is required to be submitted in Q4, and some authorities expect this reporting for issue of form 16 to employees.
