30 July 2025 I have deducted TDS on Rent and filed TDS Return for the F.Y 2024-2025. Now Rent payment amount is under Rs.50000/- and tds not deducted. Does Nill TDS return is mandatory to file or any declaration to submit the Income Tax department for Nill Return

30 July 2025 Filing a Nil TDS return is generally not mandatory if you have made no payments that require TDS deduction during a quarter, even if you have previously deducted TDS and filed TDS returns.
TRACES allows deductors to file a Nil TDS return—a declaration stating that there are no TDS transactions for a specific quarter. This helps maintain compliance, especially if you have filed TDS returns in earlier quarters or are a regular deductor.
After login to TRACES, Go to the Statements/Payments section and locate the Declaration for Non-filing of TDS Statements (Nil Declaration) option.
Submit the required details
