27 July 2025 If you mistakenly entered some entries meant for **26Q** (TDS on payments other than salary) in **24Q** (TDS on salary), you should:

1. **Rectify the returns online** by filing revised statements for both 24Q and 26Q.
2. The Income Tax Department allows corrections and filing of revised TDS returns without penalty if done within the due dates.

**Penalty:**

* Generally, **no penalty is levied if the mistake is rectified timely** through revised returns.
* However, if the mistake leads to short deduction or late deduction of TDS, interest under Sections 201(1A) or penalty under Section 271C may apply.
* But just wrongly reporting the entries in 24Q instead of 26Q (and correcting it) usually does **not attract penalty** if corrected promptly.

So, no penalty just for the mistake if corrected online timely.
