What are the TDS Due Dates for FY 2025-26?

TDS deducted in any month (April to February) must be deposited by the 7th of the following month. For March deductions, the deadline is April 30. TDS on property purchase (Form 26QB) must be filed within 30 days from the end of the deduction month.

Q1 (Apr–Jun): July 31 | Q2 (Jul–Sep): October 31 | Q3 (Oct–Dec): January 31 | Q4 (Jan–Mar): May 31. These are for Form 24Q (salary) and 26Q (non-salary). Form 27Q (non-residents) and 27EQ (TCS) follow the same quarterly deadlines.

Interest at 1.5% per month (or part thereof) is charged from the date of deduction to the date of actual payment. Plus, a penalty of ₹200 per day under Section 234E is levied for late filing of TDS return (maximum up to the TDS amount).

Form 26QB must be filed within 30 days from the end of the month in which TDS is deducted. For example, if property purchased on March 15, Form 26QB must be filed by April 30.

Yes. Government deductors who pay TDS without challan must deposit by the same day of deduction. Those paying with challan must deposit by April 7 for March deductions; for other months, by the 7th of the following month — same as non-government deductors.
