TDS Liabilities, Challans, and Form 24Q

As per Indian tax laws, employers are responsible for deducting tax at source (TDS) from their employees' salaries and remitting it to the government. This ensures that taxes are paid promptly and efficiently. In Zoho Payroll, the TDS Liabilities, Challans, and Form 24Q are all interconnected and play a crucial role in ensuring accurate and timely TDS payments.

Pre-Requisite: You must enable the feature to view the TDS Liabilities, Challans, and Form 24Q modules. To do this, click View Details on the left sidebar and click Enable.

TDS Liabilities

TDS Liabilities refer to the total amount of TDS that an employer is liable to deduct from their employees' salaries. This amount is calculated based on the employees' income tax slab and their eligible deductions under the Income Tax Act. In Zoho Payroll, the TDS liabilities are calculated automatically for each employee based on their salary and tax deductions. Learn More.

Pre-Requisite: You can view the TDS liabilities only if you have submitted and approved your pay run.

To view the TDS liabilities in Zoho Payroll: Go to Taxes and Forms > TDS Liabilities > View Details.

Challans

Challans are payment receipts that are generated when an employer remits their TDS liabilities to the Government. These challans are proof of payment and must be recorded in Zoho Payroll. Learn More.

Once you’ve viewed the TDS Liabilities, you can record the challan for it. Here’s how: Go to Taxes and Forms > Challans > Click Record Challan.

Form 24Q

Form 24Q is a quarterly statement that employers should submit to the Government.

In Zoho Payroll, you can generate the text file based on each employee’s salary and TDS information.

Once you generate the text file, you’ll have to attach the text file and generate the .fvu file using the FVU tool provided by the Tax Information Network. Once you generate the .fvu file, you can submit it to the Indian Government through an online portal. Learn More.
