This discussion clarifies a common tax query regarding the disallowance of expenses when Tax Collected at Source (TCS) isn't deposited by the due date for return filing. It confirms that Section 40(ia) of the Income Tax Act specifically addresses Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and does not apply to TCS. Therefore, failure to deposit TCS on time does not result in the 30% expense disallowance stipulated for TDS.

My doubt is that wheather any disallowance if tcs collected by the assessee not deposited within due date of return filling.
