Penalty for late filing of TDS Return

Failing to file TDS return with the due date would result into a late filing fee and penalty. Therefore, If any deductor has failed to file the return within the due date prescribed, such default would attract the:

  • Late Filing Fee
  • Penalty

A late filing fee is a penalty for not filing of TDS Return within the Due date (after payment of TDS). In that case, a late fee of Rs.200 per day will be charged from the due date of furnishing the TDS return until the filing is made.

However, the amount of late filing fees will be limited to the extent of TDS amount.

For example, Mr. Shubham has to pay a TDS of Rs.5000 on May 20. In that case, TDS payment falls under the 1st quarter (April – June). Therefore, he is required to file the TDS return on 31st July, but he furnishes the same on 10th September.

So, the late filing fee can be calculated as @200*41 days= Rs.8200 but the payable late filing fee would be to the extent of Rs. 5000, not 8200 (i.e., equal to the TDS amount).

Penalty for not filing of TDS Return

The penalty is levied under two sections:

  • Penalty under section 243E – deductor will be liable to pay fee Rs.200 per day till the failure to pay TDS continues.
  • Penalty under section 271H – it is addition to penalty under section 243E & it is the penalty for both late filing & incorrect filing of TDS.

No penalty under section 271H will be levied in case of delay in filing the TDS return if the following conditions are satisfied by the deductor:

  • The TDS is paid to the credit of the Government.
  • Late filing fees and interest (if any) on TDS is paid to the credit of the Government.
  • The TDS return is filed before the expiry of a period of one year from the due date specified in this behalf
