Tds (late return filing)

Late Filing or Non filing of TDS Statement Made Costly

No filing or Late filing of TDS returns or TDS statement shall invite 2 penal consequence as the finance Act 2012-13 has given 2 New provisions – Fee for late filing U/s 234E and Penalty for late filing or Non filing of TDS statement U/s 271H.

Fee U/s 234E for late filing of TDS - Statement - Wef 1.07.2012

Fees of Rs.200 per day for late furnishing of TDS statement from the due date of furnishing of TDS statement to the date of furnishing of TDS statement

Fees shall be paid before delivering a statement

Total amount of fee shall not exceed total amount of tax deductible

Similarly a new penalty provision has been inserted as section 271H which provides that a deductor shall pay penalty of minimum Rs 10,000 to Rs 1 lakh for not filing the TDS statement within one year from the specified date within which he was supposed to file the statement. This amendment is also effective from 1st July 2012.
