02 August 2025 Regarding the tendering of TDS challan by a government deductor:

**As per Income Tax Rules,** the TDS amount deducted must be deposited **within 7 days from the date of deduction**.

* This means the government deductor has **7 days time after the day of deduction** to deposit the TDS challan amount at the authorized bank.
* It is **not mandatory to deposit the TDS on the same day** of deduction.

This timeline applies to both government and non-government deductors.

---

**Reference:**
Section 200(3) of the Income Tax Act and Rule 31A of the Income Tax Rules specify that TDS deducted must be deposited within 7 days of deduction.

---

If the TDS is not deposited within this 7-day period, interest and penalties may apply.
