27 July 2025 You're right to ask for clarification—TDS deposit timelines can vary, especially for **March deductions**. Here's the **correct and current rule** for **TDS deposit deadlines**, specifically for the **last quarter (January–March)** and **TDS deducted in March**, based on **Rule 30 of the Income Tax Rules, 1962** and applicable notifications (like Notification No. 41/2010).

---

### ✅ **TDS Deposit Due Dates (for Non-Government Deductors):**

| **Month of Deduction** | **Due Date to Deposit TDS** |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------- |
| **April to February** | **7th of next month** |
| **March** | **30th April** |

👉 So yes, **TDS deducted on any date in March (even 31st March)** can be deposited **up to 30th April** of that year **without incurring late fee or interest**, provided it is deposited by that date.

---

### 🔸 **Example for FY 2022–23 (AY 2023–24):**

* TDS deducted on **contract payment** on 31.03.2023 → **Due date**: 30.04.2023
* TDS deducted from **salary** on 15.03.2023 → **Due date**: 30.04.2023

✅ This applies to **all types of TDS**—salaries (u/s 192), contractors (u/s 194C), rent (u/s 194I), professional fees (u/s 194J), etc.

---

### 📝 TDS Return Due Dates (Quarterly - Form 24Q, 26Q etc.):

| **Quarter** | **Quarter Ending** | **Return Filing Due Date** |
| ----------- | ------------------ | -------------------------- |
| Q1 | 30 June | 31 July |
| Q2 | 30 September | 31 October |
| Q3 | 31 December | 31 January |
| **Q4** | **31 March** | **31 May** |

### 🔗 Reference:

* [Notification No. 41/2010 dated 31-05-2010](https://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/communications/notification/notification41_2010.pdf)
