This discussion addresses penalties for late filing of TDS returns for Q1, Q2, and Q3 of FY 20-21, despite timely challan payments. It highlights Section 234E of the Income Tax Act, 1961, which imposes a penalty of Rs 200 per day or the TDS amount, whichever is less. Additionally, Section 271H may be applicable due to the significant delay in filing, particularly for Q1 20-21 returns.

Also refer section 271H of the Income tax act 1961 may. be applicable because TDS return is late more than one year of Q1 20-21 , so please confirm .
