TDS

TDS deposited on time, and claimed in full

TDS you deduct, deposited and reported on time; TDS deducted from you, tracked to Form 26AS.

Invovibe works out what is due and records what was deposited and filed. It does not pay a challan, file Form 140 or issue Form 131.

The TDS register for FY 2026-27: October's ₹2,500 under 194J due on 7 November, September's ₹6,000 deposited. Demo data.

The problem it solves

01

A due date every month

TDS deducted in a month has to be deposited by the 7th of the next. Missed, it costs interest from the day it was deducted.

02

Challans that match nothing

A challan paid without knowing which bills it covers leaves the quarter's return to be pieced together from bank statements.

03

Tax already paid, never claimed

What clients withhold from invoices is tax paid on the business's behalf. Unless it is checked against Form 26AS, some of it is never claimed.

How it works

01

Every month, deducted against deposited

TDS deducted in a month is due by the 7th of the next — 30 April for March. Each month shows what was deducted, what was deposited and what is left, with an estimate of the interest once it is late.

02

A quarter, from deduction to certificate

The quarterly statement (Form 140, formerly 26Q) is due a month after each quarter and the certificates (Form 131, formerly 16A) fifteen days after that. The filing date and acknowledgement are recorded against the quarter, so the next one starts clean.

03

TDS deducted from you

What clients kept back from your invoices is tax already paid on your behalf. It is listed by client and quarter until it shows in Form 26AS, and flagged when it is still missing after the client's return was due.

Questions about tds

Which TDS does it track?

TDS deducted on supplier bills and on team members' project pay, by month and section, and the TDS clients withheld from your invoices. Salary TDS under section 192 is not covered.

Does it pay the challan or file Form 26Q?

No. It works out what is due and when, and records the challan and the return once they are done on the government's site.

When is TDS due?

By the 7th of the month after it was deducted, and by 30 April for March. Form 26Q is due on 31 July, 31 October, 31 January and 31 May, and Form 16A fifteen days after each.

How do I claim the TDS my clients withheld?

Each entry is listed by client and quarter. Tick it off when it shows in Form 26AS; one still missing after the client's return was due is worth asking the client about.
