TDS Compliance Check

The withholding regime is deceptively intricate. Each category of payment carries its own section, its own threshold, and its own rate, and the rate shifts when a payee’s PAN is missing or invalid. The timing of deduction and the timing of deposit are governed separately, and the quarterly returns must reconcile perfectly with both. Our team reviews your TDS function against all of these, identifying short deductions, wrong-section deductions, late deposits, and return mismatches that would otherwise surface only in a notice or a TRACES default.

What sets Law Mahaguru apart is that we read TDS as a legal exposure, not a clerical task. We examine your vendor and payroll payments against the correct provisions, check whether you have collected the declarations and certificates that reduce or remove deduction (such as lower-deduction certificates and the relevant forms), and verify that the credit you have deducted is actually reflected against your deductees, which is what keeps them, and you, out of dispute. Where defaults already exist, we map the corrective filings and help you regularise before interest and penalty compound.

The disallowance risk is the one our clients most often underestimate. An expense on which tax was not correctly withheld can be disallowed, which means you pay tax as though the expense never happened, even though you genuinely incurred it. We have helped businesses identify and fix exactly this exposure before filing, preserving deductions that a casual review would have left vulnerable.

We work with companies tightening their payables process, businesses preparing for assessment, and finance teams that simply want an independent check that their TDS is clean. Each receives a clear diagnosis: what is being done correctly, what is exposed, and precisely how to fix it.

TDS errors are cheap to prevent and expensive to discover late. Law Mahaguru gives you the review that keeps deductions intact and defaults off your record. Share your TDS profile, and we will tell you exactly where you stand and what, if anything, needs correcting before it costs you.
