  1. Hey @Joe_Fernandes ,

    Thank you for reaching out to us!

    You need to keep in mind following dates for TDS Return filing:

    Penalty Under Section 234E is levied in case you miss out on filling TDS return on time. The penalty of INR 200 per day is levied on the taxpayer till the day on which return is filed. Provided that the amount of Penalty should not exceed the number of TDS payable.

    Hope this helps!

  2. Hi @Neel

    If you have already filed an online correction return by adding the correct challan details, you should wait for the department to process the same. If your correction gets processed successfully then your demand will get nullified otherwise you can go ahead and file the offline correction.

    Hope this helps.

  3. When should TDS be deducted, at the date invoice was issued, at the time of payment, or at the due date of making payment for the invoice?

  4. Hi @np16

    If your rental income for a year exceeds INR 2,40,000 (INR 1,80,000 till FY 2018-19), TDS is deducted by the tenant. However, if your total income including rent is not taxable then you can submit Form 15G / 15H to the tenant to save yourself from TDS deduction.
