TDS, advance tax and ITRs — computed, cross-checked, filed
TDS is a monthly discipline: deduction computed section-wise at current rates, deposited by challan by the 7th of the following month (March deductions get time till 30 April), and quarterly statements filed on the new Form 138/140 series — where the late fee runs ₹200 per day. A verified accountant carries that discipline for you, with every filing acknowledged and archived on the portal.
Beyond TDS, the engagement covers advance income tax — the cumulative instalments of 15% by 15 June, 45% by 15 September, 75% by 15 December and 100% by 15 March, with a single 15 March instalment for presumptive taxpayers — and income-tax returns across the staggered calendar: salaried by 31 July, non-audit business by 31 August, audited entities by 31 October. Everything is cross-checked against 26AS, AIS and paid challans before filing.
₹1,800/day
A typical standalone engagement is 1 accountant-day a month — ₹1,800/month at the standard tier.
