Why getting TDS right matters

Late or wrong TDS filing attracts ₹200 / day late fee under Section 234E, 1% / 1.5% monthly interest under Section 201, and disallowance of 30% of the expense under Section 40(a)(ia). A clean TRACES record is also essential for refund processing of your vendors and employees.
