15 May 2023 hi,
if there is no tds on salary, then can we file nil return without paying dummy amount u/s 92B?
somebody told me that we have to pay, say Rs. 10/-, then only we will be able to file the return.

07 January 2025 Practically now most of the salaried employees are opting for various loans for which many banks have mandated form 16 from employers. It is advisable to file atleast 24Q for 4th quarter with annexure 2 that has salary details of all employees (including those with non-taxable income). This will help in generating Form 16 for all alleviating pragmatic difficulties. Though IT department has not mandated this, this suggestion is given on basis of practical experience.
