No. 31 March 2024 was not the general last date to apply for a lower/nil TDS certificate for FY 2024–25. An application under section 197 is generally made in Form 13, and the Assessing Officer may issue a certificate for the relevant period after considering the prescribed information. Apply before the relevant payments or credits are subject to withholding; a certificate does not ordinarily operate retrospectively. Check the current portal procedure and the certificate’s validity for the specific case.
Managing Form 13 applications involves coordinating payer details, estimated income and tax projections. Manual tracking can be difficult; automation reduces repetitive work while professional judgment remains in control.
