Enhancements in TDS module and Processing of 4th quarter of Salary TDS returns - Income Tax - 28

Enhancements in TDS module and Processing of 4th quarter of Salary TDS returns ? regarding TDS INSTRUCTION NO. 28 [F.No.SW/TDS/2/2//06-DIT(S)-II] Dated 02-11-2010 As per the amended provisions of the Income-tax Act, persons deducting/collecting tax at source from salary payments are now required to furnish complete information in 4 th quarterly statements. For uploading the salary TDS returns of the 4 th quarter of the F.Y.2005-06 in the Income Tax database, TDS software has been modified. 2. Action Plan targets for F.Y. 2006-07 require Processing of e-TDS returns received during F.Y.2005-06 according to targets fixed by respective CCITs. Processing of salary TDS returns viz.24Q is to be done only for the 4 th quarter statements, where as processing for non-salary returns i.e. 26Q statements should be done for all the quarters. 3. Challan Matching ? Relaxation of matching criteria :? The present criteria of matching of challans for short payments was throwing up lot of mismatches, as it was based on checking? the total of these values? ( TAN + Date of payment + Amount + Section Code + Minor Head (200) + periodicity ) of deductees of TDS return with the total collections reported in the TDS ledger. The difference of the above two values was shown as short payment. Now software has been modified.? Instead of verifying the above values from the TDS ledger, the software will check for the challan mismatch flag for every challan record. To? reduce the number of mismatches the relaxed CIN based matching criteria? followed by M/s NSDL is being adopted. This is done by? relaxing one component of CIN (i.e. BSR code, Challan Sequence no. and Deposit date +/- 3 days ) and after matching the same credit will also be given during processing of TDS returns. 4. Redesigned front end user interface :? Based on user feedback, following updation and corrections have also been carried out in the? TDS module. i) Menu options have been redesigned. Following processing steps are now shown under ?Processing? menu. a. Return Receipt Register. b. Return Mismatch c. Confirm verification results d. Generation of Notices e. Demand Order f. Print Demand Notice and Challan. ii) Menu name ?Print Proceeding Output? has been renamed as ?Print Demand Notice and Challan?. iii) The frontend screens have been redesigned and made user friendly. The user can now go from any processing screen to the succeeding step by the press of a button iv) Maintain Ledger menu option has been removed from ?Others? and placed under Processing ༯span Post Challan and Maintain Ledger? option. v) To upload the 4 th quarter salary TDS statements, the procedure is similar to uploading? other quarterly? TDS returns. Only the name of the file which will be received from NSDL has been renamed as QSYYNNNNNN.XXX. vi) An archive problem had been reported in bulk processing of TDS returns. The same has been enhanced and the performance has also been tuned.? However the DBA has to perform the work related to archiving of files more frequently since during bulk processing number of insertions, updations and deletions take place depending upon the number of returns. vii) It was pointed out that return mismatch is taking too much time. The same has been tuned. Earlier the validation of PAN was being done at the return mismatch stage. This will now be validated at the time of printing notices for non-quoting / wrong quoting of PAN of deductees. 5. The procedure to install these enhanced modifications is as per annexure. The concerned officials may kindly be directed to execute the instructions as mentioned in the annexure during non-peak hours and no uploading of e-TDS returns should be in process during execution of patch. 6. It is requested that this instruction may be circulated to all the Assessing Officers and staff responsible for processing TDS returns on computer systems 7.
