30 May 2011 It is important to file the TDS Return well in time. However, there is a delay, you must file as the earliest as possible. Non Filing of TDS Return Attracts Penalty of Rs. 100 per day subject to a maximum penalty of amount of tax involved.

27 July 2025 Yes, you **can file TDS returns even after the due date**, but you should do it **as soon as possible** to minimize penalties.

### Key points about late filing of TDS returns:

* **Late filing is allowed** but attracts a penalty of **Rs. 100 per day** of delay.
* The maximum penalty can be up to the **amount of TDS involved**.
* There is **no fixed last date** for filing a delayed TDS return, but the penalty keeps increasing for each day of delay.
* If you file late (say in June or July after the due date), you will have to pay the penalty amount accordingly.
* Additionally, interest might also be applicable on the delayed TDS payment.

### Recommendation:

* File your TDS return immediately, even if late, to avoid more penalty and interest.
* For any TDS not deposited, also deposit the TDS amount immediately along with interest.

If you want, I can guide you through the exact procedure or help with the calculation of penalties and interest.
