Correcting TDS Payment Discrepancy in Form 26QC and Updating Form 16C

Hi everyone,

I need some help with an issue related to Form 26QC and TDS payment on rent. Initially, I entered the rent amount incorrectly, which resulted in a lower TDS being paid. I submitted a correction to update the rent amount, and now the corrected rent amount is showing, but the TDS amount is still the old, incorrect one.

My questions are:
1. How do I pay the remaining TDS amount that is due? Is there a specific challan or process for this additional payment?
2. How can I update Form 16C to reflect the correct TDS amount after making this additional payment? Are there any steps or documentation I need to follow to ensure Form 16C is accurate?
3. Are there any penalties or compliance issues I need to be aware of due to this correction and additional payment? What can I do to avoid or mitigate any penalties?

Any guidance or advice on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a TDS payment discrepancy where an incorrect rent amount was initially entered in Form 26QC, leading to underpayment of TDS.

Tds at 5% calculation will be on total rent and it is automated.

Check total rent column and correct it to full year rent and you have to enter % of rent as 5%
Initially, the total rent amount was ₹90,000, so 5% TDS should have been calculated on this amount. However, I mistakenly entered ₹80,000 instead of ₹90,000, resulting in a difference of ₹10,000. Consequently, I paid 5% TDS on ₹80,000, which is ₹4,000.

When I submitted a correction request, I updated the rent amount to ₹90,000, which requires a 5% TDS of ₹4,500. Therefore, there is a remaining TDS amount of ₹500 that needs to be paid (₹4,500 - ₹4,000).

The person paying the rent does not have a TAN, as they are a resident individual paying rent exceeding ₹50,000, which requires 5% TDS. Could someone please guide me on the process to pay the additional ₹500 TDS and correctly file it in Form 26QC and Form 16C?
