TDS return submitted, but neither rejected nor accepted by CPC for long time.

Sorry, I couldn't find specific information on the typical processing time for TDS returns by CPC.

The status "Form submitted" suggests that the return has been successfully uploaded, but the processing is pending.

You may want to try checking the income tax department's website or contacting their support for more information.

Alternatively, you can try searching online for more guidance on TDS return processing times.

I am facing similar issue.

26Q return filed on 27th Oct and showing accepted at e filing website but nothing thereafter, it's not processed at CPC.

A TDS statement showing “Form submitted” generally means it has not yet completed processing; it does not, by itself, confirm acceptance or rejection. Since it was filed on 25 April 2025, check the filing acknowledgement/token number and status in TRACES, and verify whether any processing communication or default/intimation is available. If the status remains unchanged, raise a grievance through the relevant TRACES/CPC-TDS channel, quoting the token number and filing date; retain the acknowledgement and grievance reference. Avoid filing a duplicate statement unless the portal or CPC-TDS specifically directs you to.

This status check is part of routine TDS return compliance and follow-up. Manual tracking across filing records and portal updates is difficult; automation can reduce repetitive work while keeping professional judgment in control.
