Single challan for all sections of tds payments for one month

Yes you can do that, Section mentioned in Challan is no more relevant. If one have paid challan under section 194C, the same can be utilized for the payment of TDS deducted u/s 194J or combination of sections at the time of filling TDS return.

YES 

YOU CAN DO THIS 

BUT I THINK THAT TDS DEPOSIT SPERATE CHALLAN  AS PER SECTION IN WHICH TDS DEDUCT IS MORE BENEFIT 

BECAUSE THERE IS DIFFERENCE % RATE OF TDS DEDUCTION  AND HELPFUL  YOUR ACCOUNT BOOK MAINTAIN AND VERY USESFULL WHEN YOUR AUDITOR ASK YOU ABOUT THIS 

GOOD LUCK 

Yes, one challan per month can be used, with two cautions:

• The section code in the challan is not binding. TRACES allows a challan to be consumed against deductees of any section in the same statement, as long as the amount is enough.

• The major head must match the deductee type: 0020 (company deductees) and 0021 (non-company deductees). If you pay everything under 0021, TDS on company deductees can show as a mismatch. Most deductors therefore pay two challans: one for company deductees and one for others.

• Salary TDS (24Q) and non-salary TDS (26Q) are separate statements. Keep separate challans for clean consumption and to avoid "overbooked" or unconsumed balances.

• Pay through "e-Pay Tax" on the e-filing portal (Challan ITNS 281). Interest under Sec 201(1A) and late fee under Sec 234E can be paid in the same challan under their own fields.

• From 1 April 2026, payments relate to the corresponding provisions of the Income-tax Act, 2025; challan practice is unchanged.
