All the tax deductions at source made in the current financial year should be reported in the TDS Schedule.
(a) “Unique TDS Certificate Number”. This is a six digit number which appears on the right hand top corner of those TDS certificates which have been generated by the deductor through the Tax Information Network (TIN) Central System.
(b) “Year of tax deduction” means the financial year in which tax has been deducted. In this column fill up the four digits of relevant financial year.
For example, if the deduction has been made by the deductor in the financial year 2017-18 fill up 2017 in the designated space.

(d) In Col. 7, enter the amount of TDS deducted in own hands, as reflected in the 26AS statement.
