TDS TCS communication for file NIL Declaration.

Hello everyone, please guide on this TDS query.

TDS 24Q & TCS 27EQ is not applicable, so we did not file TDS quarterly return.

Now we received communication from department informing us that we have not filed TDS returns, and to file declaration for non-applicability.

As there was no TDS deduction or TCS collections, is it mandatory to file declaration.

Shall we file declaration, or shall we ignore this communication.

Please guide.

Quick Summary
Even if no TDS or TCS is applicable, do not ignore department notice. Filing a NIL declaration or NIL return is not mandatory by law but is advisable to avoid notices and ensure compliance when TAN is active.

You should NOT ignore this communication. Even if no TDS/TCS was applicable, the department expects a response.

Not mandatory by law

But highly advisable to file NIL declaration

Do NOT ignore the notice

Your TAN  number is active therefore in my opinion always better to file NIL retrun or Nil declaration even if in any perticular quater no TDS / TCS  deducted . 

Take more opinion as well . 

Thank you dear Aashok FC Advisory for your reply.
