Penalty on tds return filing

When the TDS return is filed after the due date, you attract penalty under section 272A(2)(1). The penalty shall be Rs.100, for each day of delay, subject to the maxium of tax deducted. But before passing any order imposing penalty, the department is bound to provide us an opportunity to explain our position. It is Rs. 200/- because 24Q and 26Q both are to be filed seperately thats why 100 rs. each for each type of TDS REturn is payable as panelty. per day

Thank for your reply but dear it not clear my ans ,,,please let me know is 200/- per day penalty applicable on 1st quater ?

These amendments are applicable from 1st July, 2012 and will, accordingly, apply to the TDS or TCS statement to be furnished in respect of tax deducted or collected on or after 1st  July, 2012.

Therefore penaly of Rs 200/- per day is not applicable for 1st qtr.

Thanks for your reply

Sub:- Intimation of non-filing of TDS Returns

     The assessing officer was advised to file the pending TDS Returns within 15 days from the receiving of the such notice, the Query is if the deductor filed the pending TDS returns within  15 days, the penalty will arise or not?
