CBDT has notified the Revised Quarterly TDS Return Due Dates, applicable w.e.f. 01/06/2016 (from Financial Year 2016-17). However, there is no change in due dates for filing of Quarterly TCS Returns.
This amendment was primarily brought about by the CBDT in order to unify the TDS Return Due Dates, which refer to the dates by which both the government and non-government deductors are required to submit their TDS Return or Statement. Previously, non-government deductors were only given 15 days for each respective quarter, whereas government deductors were given a full month to submit their TDS returns in regard to the first three quarters.
Following the implementation of the aforementioned amendments, the grace period for TDS compliance will be the same for both government and non-government deductors, and there will be no discrimination of any kind in this regard; more specifically, the dates by which TDS returns are due will be the same for both types of deductors.
In addition, it is quite encouraging that the CBDT has decided to grant ample time to deductors in order for them to ensure proper compliance with the requirements of the TDS provisions.
