Benefits of tds return filing

Filing a TDS return aids government authorities in preventing tax avoidance by individuals or corporations. Government agencies maintain track of the TDS filed by individuals and companies, and if someone fails to file TDS by the due date, a penalty will be imposed.
TDS returns offer the government of India with a consistent source of revenue because they are filed every month by deductors who fall under the prescribed slab. It aids the government in keeping track of and recording those who file TDS on a regular basis.

Filing TDS returns increases the government's tax collecting base. Because the employer files the TDS and provides a certificate to the employee with the TDS ID, there are less risks of tax evasion and an increase in the number of tax payers in the country.
The tax collection agencies have a tremendous obligation to keep a watch on every earning individual who falls under the taxpaying slab to ensure that the tax is paid, therefore TDS return filing makes it easier for both the tax authorities and the deductor because the tax is deducted at the time of payment.

Due dates of tds return filing

The due date of TDS return filing is seventh day of the succeeding month.
