27 July 2025 Here's how TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) reporting works in India when deductions span different months and quarters, especially when using a **single challan** for multiple deductions:

---

### **1. In which quarter will September TDS (deposited in October) fall?**

✅ **Answer: Q2 (July – September)**

TDS is **reported in the quarter in which it is deducted**, **not deposited**. So even if the TDS deducted in September is deposited in October, it is still part of **Q2**.

---

### **2. What if TDS for May and September is deposited via a single challan? How to report in two quarters?**

This is a common scenario. Here's how to handle it:

✅ **You can allocate a single challan across multiple quarters while filing the TDS return.**

When filing TDS returns (Form 26Q), you specify:

* The **deduction month** (e.g., May and September),
* The **amount deducted for each payee**, and
* Reference the **same challan** for both.

So:

* TDS deducted in **May** (Q1: April–June) will be reported in **Q1 return**.
* TDS deducted in **September** (Q2: July–September) will be reported in **Q2 return**.
* Both can reference the **same challan**, even though deposited in October.

📝 **TRACES (TDS Reconciliation Analysis and Correction Enabling System)** allows the same challan to be used in multiple quarters, as long as the details match and allocations are correct.

---

### ✅ Practical Steps

1. **Identify** amounts deducted in each month.
2. **Divide** the total challan amount accordingly.
3. **File** TDS returns for each quarter, using the same challan number and date, allocating the appropriate portion of the challan to each deduction.

---

### 🔍 Example:

| Month | Deducted | Deposited (Challan in Oct) | Quarter |
| --------- | -------- | -------------------------- | ------- |
| May | ₹5,000 | Via challan dated Oct 10 | Q1 |
| September | ₹7,000 | Via challan dated Oct 10 | Q2 |

While filing returns:

* Q1: ₹5,000 (mention challan dated Oct 10)
* Q2: ₹7,000 (same challan)
