05 July 2014 Nil TDS return not required to file
.
.
But Nil TDS return means where there is no deductee details and challan details
.
.
suppose
.
u have received nil deduction certificates under 197,or payment to transporter
.
.
TDS return filing mandatory by way of ammended rule 31A
.
see my article as a sample

05 July 2014 If it is pure nil tds return no problem as you dont need to file
.
.
but as said above if you have any transporter payments , or received nil deduction certificates
.
.
even though you may come out of purview of 234E fee you may be liable to get penalty under 271H
.
.
Section 271H – Penalty will be levied for below

1)Deductor has to pay a penalty ranging from minimum of Rs. 10,000/- to One Lac rupees,If deductor exceeds one year time limit to File TDS Statement.

2)If deductor furnishes incorrect details like PAN, TDS Amount, Payment of Challan etc.
