Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether TDS deducted under different sections, such as 194C, 194J, and 194H, can be deposited using a single challan. Experts confirm that this is permissible, with the challan payment treated as an advance to the treasury. The final allocation to the correct sections is handled when filing the TDS return on TRACES, meaning there's no error in this process.

22 July 2025 Consider the challan payment as just advance to treasury; which gets distributed to respective heads while filing TDS return. This concept is adopted by TRACES, so no mistake on our part.
