Etds - 24Q

Dear Sir/Madam,

in 1st quarter we have few employees who are currently not taxable but in next quarter they will have tax deduction.

how to file 24Q for 1st quarter with no TDs deposit? I tried but it's throwing error code as T-FV-4320 invalid value under remarks field - allowed values are A B S Y T R Z N. where as for 24Q it showes only A B C. which are not applicable. how to file return ? year end part A and part B of Form 16 also has to match.

department were unable to guide on this

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the challenge of filing the first quarter's 24Q return when employees are not yet taxable but will be in the subsequent quarter. It clarifies that a nil TDS return for Q1 is not compulsory if no tax was deducted. The conversation also explains how to reconcile Form 16 at year-end, noting that Part A reflects quarterly filings and Part B is generated after the Q4 return. The recommended approach is to include Q1 salary with Q2 for tax liability calculation.

If Tax is not deducted then no return is required to be filed for salary

Nil TDS return is not compulsory. You may find q2 return in this case

Ok then how will part A and B of form 16 match in year end ?
Form 16 would be a single form for the entire year (unlike form 16A which is quarter-wise). You will be able to generate form 16 after filing Q4 return.
Yes.. it's generated year end... but in part A it reflects quarterly what is filed . that gross and to match with part b
Oh got it. In this case, you include the salary of Q1 with Q2 to arrive at the tax liability right? So this would take care of it. Also let me know on what basis you say, no TDS for Q1 but applicable from Q2 onwards?
These are salary payments. they pay might increase in upcoming months and they will fall taxable
