Declaration for non-filing of TDS Return

Respected Sir / Madam,

There are only two employees drawing INR 3,60,000.00 p.a. during FY 2020-21 (all others are drawing less than INR 2,50,000 p.a.) in our organization. As per law, we haven't deducted Income Tax from their salary.

We are filing Form No.26Q for other payments. In this regard, I like to know:

1. Do we need to file Nil Return in Form No.24Q?

2. If Yes, how can we do so without a TDS deposit challan.

3. If No, is it required to file a declaration for non-filing of TDS Return for Form No.24Q? If so, which reason would be appropriate for us:

(a) Not liable to deduct tax for the selected statement period;

(b) Payment below threshold to deductee.

I shall be obliged for your kind guidance in this regard.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the requirement for filing a nil TDS return (Form 24Q) when no tax has been deducted from employee salaries. The consensus is that if there's no liability to deduct TDS, a nil return for Form 24Q is not necessary. The query also explores whether a declaration for non-filing is needed in such cases, with the understanding that it's likely not required if no tax was deductible.

There is no need to file nil return in case of form 24Q if there is no liability to deduct tax at source. You may just file 26Q.

Thanks mam for your quick reply. Please suggest about Point No.3 of the query.

As I understand no such declaration is required to be filed.
