TallyPrime TDS Integration - Auto Form 24Q / 26Q / 27Q Filing

Every Indian business that deducts tax at source files four quarterly returns — Form 24Q (salary), 26Q (contractors, professional fees, rent), 27Q (non-residents), 27EQ (TCS on sale of goods) — and reconciles the resulting Form 26AS against Tally TDS payable. Manual filing takes 2 to 3 full days per quarter across payroll, contractor, and non-resident payments, with the FVU utility validation adding another day of debugging on average. This connector automates the entire cycle. At quarter close, Tally TDS vouchers are aggregated per section per deductee and formatted into the NSDL-compliant .txt file for each form. FVU validation runs internally — the errors that would normally break the utility (wrong PAN format, mismatched deductee details, invalid section code, missing challan) surface directly in your Tally dashboard with the offending voucher linked, so fixes take minutes not hours.

Once validated, the .zip is submitted to the Income Tax e-Filing portal per TAN. The acknowledgement number is written back into the Tally voucher and archived. After the filing window closes, Form 26AS is pulled from TRACES per PAN — automatically, no login required — and reconciled against the Tally TDS payable. Discrepancies (wrong PAN, wrong section, credit not appearing due to supplier late filing) are surfaced with a plain-language explanation. Form 16A is batch-generated post-filing and dispatched to deductees via MSG91 in the deductee's preferred language per Tally party master.

Multi-TAN groups are natively supported. Each TAN registration gets its own filing pipeline, its own 26AS reconciliation queue, and its own Form 16A dispatch cycle. Statutory boundaries remain clean per TAN, but the group tax lead has one dashboard across every entity. TRACES connection uses the Deductor authorisation flow — no manual login for Form 26AS or Form 16A downloads once initial setup is complete.
