Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether filing a NIL TCS return is mandatory for companies that haven't made any TCS-related transactions in the first and second quarters, despite filing for the third. The consensus is that it is not compulsory to file a NIL return if no TCS transactions occurred. A NIL return is only required if payments were made but no TCS was deducted or collected.

No, though there is a declaration option on traces website of nil return

It is compulsory for a deductor to file NIL return if he has done some payments and not deducted/Collected any TDS/TCS on the amount of payment. No Deduction Details and No Challan details is not a NIL returns
