Exess Late Fee under 234E on past Challans


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to handle unconsumed amounts on past challans, specifically excess late fees (Section 234E) paid in FY 19-20 and 20-21. The consensus is that these excess late fees can be adjusted against future TDS payments by entering the unutilised challan details in the TDS return. A refund is generally only an option if there are no future TDS payments due.

01 December 2022 We have unconsumed amounts on some past challans in FY 19-20, 20-21 and the unconsumed amounts represent the excess 234E late fee we had paid on those challans.

Can we adjust these unconsumed challan amounts ( as i mentioned, these are excess late fees we had paid on past challans ) towards the payment of TDS in the coming quarters ? If yes, could you please explain the process to follow ?

Thanks for your response.

Instead of using those unconsumed balances in the past challans for future TDS payments, can we seek a refunds of all of those unconsumed challans in the past ?

As i mentioned previously , the unconsumed balances on past challans represent the excess late fees we had paid on those past challans

Could you pls advise, Sir ?

02 December 2022 Utilise it for future TDS payments.
Refund can be opt for only in case of no future TDS payment.
Late fee excess payment can be utilised for TDS payment it's allowed.
