Quarterly 24Q, 26Q, 27Q and 27EQ due dates with Form 16, 16A and 27D deadlines and the section 234E late fee.
This tracker lays out every quarterly TDS and TCS deadline for an Indian financial year: Forms 24Q, 26Q and 27Q under Rule 31A, Form 27EQ under Rule 31AA, and the Form 16, 16A and 27D certificate dates that follow them. Statements are due on 31 July, 31 October, 31 January and 31 May for the four quarters, with TCS statements a fortnight earlier on the 15th. It also gives the monthly deposit calendar under Rule 30 and works out the Rs 200 a day fee under section 234E when a statement slips.

31 July for April to June, 31 October for July to September, 31 January for October to December and 31 May for January to March. These apply to Forms 24Q, 26Q and 27Q under Rule 31A; the TCS statement in Form 27EQ is due on the 15th of the same months.
Form 16 for salary is due by 15 June following the financial year. Form 16A must be issued within fifteen days of the statement due date, which works out to 15 August, 15 November, 15 February and 15 June for the four quarters. Form 27D for TCS follows the same fifteen-day rule from the Form 27EQ date.
Section 234E charges Rs 200 for every day of delay, and the fee can never exceed the tax deducted in that statement. Section 271H adds a separate penalty of Rs 10,000 to Rs 1,00,000, which is not levied if the statement is filed within one year of the due date and the tax, interest and fee have been paid.
By the 7th of the following month for every month except March, where tax deducted must be deposited by 30 April. Depositing late attracts interest under section 201(1A) at 1.5% for every month or part of a month from the date of deduction to the date of payment, which is separate from the section 234E filing fee. Confirm any extension notified by the CBDT before relying on a date.
