Dear expert, In case of a government deductor, what is the procedure to deposit tds on the same day of deduction, without presenting the challan at bank. Please advise me.

In the case of a **Government deductor**, when **TDS is deposited without production of a challan**, it is done through **book adjustment** and **not by remitting cash or cheque at the bank**. Here's how the process works:
---
### ✅ **TDS Deposit by Government without Challan (Book Entry System)**
This is governed by **Rule 30(4)** of the Income Tax Rules, 1962.
#### 🔹 Who can use it:
* Government deductors **without use of challan** (i.e. not paying through a bank) * This is applicable where **payment is made by book entry (transfer voucher)**
#### 🔹 Procedure:
1. **TDS is credited to the Central Government** through a **book entry** (called **Transfer Voucher** or **Treasury Voucher**). 2. The Drawing and Disbursing Officer (DDO) prepares the **Form 24G** for monthly TDS remittance. 3. The **Pay and Accounts Officer (PAO) / Treasury Officer / Cheque Drawing DDO** is responsible for:
* Consolidating all deductions * Filing **Form 24G** with the **TIN Facilitation Centre (NSDL)** or online at [TIN website](https://www.tin-nsdl.com) 4. Upon submission of Form 24G, the system generates a **Book Identification Number (BIN)**, which must be quoted by DDOs in their quarterly TDS returns.

### 📄 Key Forms Used:
* **Form 24G** – Statement for TDS deposited without challan by Govt. deductors * **BIN (Book Identification Number)** – Contains Receipt Number of 24G, DDO serial number, and Transfer Voucher Date

### 📅 Due Dates:
* **Form 24G** must be filed by the **15th of the following month**. * TDS deposit via \*\*book adjustment must be done on the **same day** of deduction.
