What is Form 24Q?
Form 24Q is used for preparing TDS
returns for the TDS deducted on salary under section 192 of the income tax act
1961. The form has to be submitted on a quarterly basis by the deductor. Along
with this, it contains details like salaries paid and the TDS deducted of the
employees by the employer. It has been ascertained that this form is mandatory
in order to declare an individual’s returns in detail, hence one has to
complete this form.
The form 24Q consists of 2 annexures
that are Annexure I and Annexure II. It contains 2 annexures namely Annexure-I
and Annexure II. Annexure-I contains details of the deductor, deductees, and
challans, it has to be submitted by the deductor for all
the four quarters of the financial year. On another hand, Annexure II need not
be submitted in the first three quarters of the financial year but has to be
furnished and submitted in the fourth quarter of the financial year with
details of the employees’ salaries of the entire financial year. Eventually,
Tax Deducted at source on salary has to be deducted as per income
tax return slab. The employer has to consider all the deductions and
investments of the employee.
