The Income Tax department has now notified ‘Electronic Filing of Returns of Tax Deducted at Source Scheme, 2003’. It is applicable to all deductors furnishing their TDS return in electronic form. As per this scheme,
It is mandatory for corporate deductors to furnish their TDS returns in electronic form (e-TDS return) with effect from June 1, 2003.
For government deductors it is mandatory to furnish their TDS returns in electronic form (e-TDS return) from financial year 2004-2005 onwards.
Deductors (other than government and corporates) may file TDS return in electronic or physical form.
Deductors furnishing TDS returns in electronic form (e-TDS) have to furnish Form 27A. Form 27A is a control chart to be furnished in physical form along with CD/ Floppy containing the e-TDS returns. Form No 27A is required to be furnished separately for each TDS return.
Form 27A is a summary of e-TDS returns which contains control totals of ‘Amount paid‘ and ‘Income tax deducted at source’. The control totals mentioned on Form 27A should match with the corresponding control totals in e-TDS returns.
