Quick answer

Easedesk handles TDS end-to-end. Add TDS sections (194C, 194J, etc.) under TDS → Sections. When you pay a vendor, the section is applied automatically based on payment type. Quarterly: generate the 24Q return and Form 16/16A from TDS → Returns.

Setup

TDS → Sections. Easedesk pre-seeds common ones: 194C (contractor), 194J (professional), 194H (commission), 194I (rent). Add custom ones if needed.

On vendor payment

When you create a payment in Procurement → Vendor Payments, pick the TDS section. Easedesk auto-calculates TDS and shows the net payable. The deduction is recorded for the quarter.

Quarterly filing

TDS → Challans → New Challan → pick the quarter. Pay via net-banking. Then TDS → Returns → Generate 24Q → download the TXT file → upload to TIN-FC or NSDL portal.

Form 16 / 16A

TDS → Form 16 → pick the employee + FY → Generate. The PDF is auto-filled with salary TDS for employees (Form 16) or vendor TDS for suppliers (Form 16A).

Frequently asked questions

Does Easedesk e-file 24Q?
Easedesk generates the validated TXT file ready to upload. Direct e-filing requires NSDL FVU validation which is on roadmap.
What if I deducted wrong TDS?
Open the deduction → click Adjust. The correction shows in the next quarter's return.
When is Form 16 due?
31st May after the financial year ends. Easedesk reminds you 30 days before.
