Our Working Process

01

Invoice & Payroll Deduction Check

We review all contractor, professional, rent, and salary disbursements to verify that correct TDS rates and thresholds have been applied.

02

Monthly Challan Compilation

Prior to the 7th of every month, we generate the consolidated challan breakdown ensuring prompt payment into the government treasury.

03

Quarterly FVU File Validation

At quarter end, data is compiled, cross-checked against vendor PAN databases, and run through the NSDL File Validation Utility (FVU).

04

Filing & Certificate Issuance

Returns are uploaded to the TRACES / e-filing portal, and Form 16/16A certificates are generated for your vendors and employees.

Required Documents & Information

To begin work smoothly, clients are requested to have the following materials available:

Frequently Asked Questions

Failure to deposit deducted TDS attracts penal interest under Section 201(1A) at 1.5% per month or part of a month. Furthermore, the underlying expense may be disallowed under Section 40(a)(ia). Prompt compliance avoids this.
If a vendor fails to furnish their valid PAN, Section 206AA mandates TDS deduction at the higher rate of 20%. We flag missing vendor PANs proactively so you can obtain them before processing payment.
Yes. We review TRACES justification reports, prepare correction returns (online and offline), and match unconsumed challans to clear outstanding demand notices.
