### 1. **Is it mandatory to report payments to transporters (even if PAN is furnished and no TDS deducted)?**
* Yes, **all payments made to transporters**, whether or not TDS is deducted (especially if PAN is provided), **should be reported in the TDS returns**.
* This helps the Income Tax Department reconcile payments and deductees.
### 2. **Where to report details of transporters?**
* Details of payments to transporters (section 194C) are reported in the **TDS Return** (Quarterly statement, usually in Form 24Q for salary or Form 26Q for non-salary payments).
* Transporters' payment details come under **Chapter 8** of the TDS return (Deductee details) with the respective section code (194C for transporters).
### 3. **What if you have not reported these details in previous returns?**
* You can file **Correction Statements (TDS Returns)** for the respective quarters to include the missing details.
* Correction returns can be filed to update/add the missing details of payments to transporters.
* It is advisable to consult your tax consultant to ensure correct filing of corrections.
### 4. **What if TDS was not deducted but PAN is furnished?**
* If PAN is furnished by the transporter, **TDS deduction is generally not required** (especially post 1 Oct 2009 as per amendments for goods transporters).
* However, details of payments still need to be disclosed in the TDS returns.
