TDS returns and TRACES defaults, without the portal headache

Quarterly filing calendars, automatic interest computation, bulk Form 16 and 16A generation, and every TRACES demand tracked to closure — so defaults get fixed instead of accumulating.

The problem

TDS defaults compound quietly

A short deduction in Q1 becomes interest, a demand, and a certificate you cannot issue.

Defaults are found too late

Nobody logs into TRACES weekly. A short-deduction default sits accruing interest until someone happens to check the justification report.

Form 16 season is chaos

Hundreds of certificates, generated one by one, then emailed manually — every June, for every client.

Interest is computed by hand

Late deposit interest gets calculated in a spreadsheet, differently by different people, and rarely matches the demand.

In the product

Every quarter, every deductor, one calendar

See which returns are due, which are filed, and which have defaults open — across every client and every TAN. Interest and late fees are computed automatically, so the number you quote matches the number TRACES will.

Defaults surfaced early — short deduction, late deduction and late deposit flagged from the justification report, not discovered at year end.

Interest computed for you — consistent, auditable figures instead of a spreadsheet that varies by preparer.

Bulk certificates — generate and dispatch Form 16 and 16A for hundreds of deductees in one run.

How it works

Closing the TDS loop each quarter

Prepare

Deductee data is validated against PAN and section before the return is built, catching errors offline.

File

Upload with a clean validation report, and the acknowledgement is logged against the quarter.

Reconcile

TRACES demands and justification reports sync back, and defaults appear as tasks with owners.

Certify

Once the quarter is clean, generate and dispatch Form 16 and 16A in bulk.
