TDS Quarterly Payment Due Date – July to September 2025 (AO Permitted)

Timely compliance with TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) regulations is one of the most critical responsibilities of every deductor under the Income Tax Act, 1961. Failure to comply with due dates may attract interest, late fees, or penalties.

For the quarter July 2025 to September 2025, the due date for depositing TDS (where quarterly deposit has been permitted by the Assessing Officer) is 7th October 2025. Let us understand the applicability, significance, and compliance requirements in detail.

🔹 What is TDS Quarterly Payment (AO Permitted)?

Normally, TDS deducted by a deductor must be deposited monthly, by the 7th of the following month. However, in certain cases, the Assessing Officer (AO) may allow quarterly payment of TDS instead of monthly.

This relaxation is permitted under Rule 30 of the Income Tax Rules, and it applies to specific sections such as:

  • Section 192 – Salary payments

  • Section 194A – Interest other than interest on securities

  • Section 194D – Insurance commission

  • Section 194H – Commission or brokerage

Thus, if you have obtained permission from your AO, you can deposit TDS quarterly instead of every month.

🔹 Due Date for July – September 2025 Quarter

For the quarter covering July 2025 to September 2025, the due date for TDS deposit is 7th October 2025.

This means that all TDS deducted during these three months (July, August, September) must be deposited with the Income Tax Department on or before this date.

🔹 Why Timely TDS Deposit is Important?

Ensuring TDS compliance is not just a statutory responsibility, but it also reflects financial discipline. Timely deposit is important because:

  1. ✅ Avoid Interest – If TDS is not deposited on time, interest at the rate of 1.5% per month is levied until payment is made.

  2. ✅ Avoid Penalties – In addition to interest, penalties under Section 271H may also apply for failure to deposit or report TDS.

  3. ✅ Smooth Credit for Deductees – TDS is reflected in Form 26AS / AIS of the deductee only when deposited correctly. Any delay causes issues for employees, contractors, or vendors while filing their returns.

  4. ✅ Maintain Compliance Track Record – Regular compliance ensures better credibility with tax authorities and avoids scrutiny.

🔹 Step-by-Step Guide to Deposit TDS

  1. Calculate TDS – Deduct tax at applicable rates under the relevant section.

  2. Prepare Challan (ITNS 281) – Available on the NSDL/Income Tax portal.

  3. Select Mode of Payment – Net banking or authorized bank branch payment.

  4. Fill in Details – PAN, TAN, Assessment Year, Section Code, etc.

  5. Make Payment – Deposit before the due date (7th October 2025).

  6. File TDS Returns – After depositing TDS, file quarterly TDS statements in Form 24Q, 26Q, etc.

🔹 Consequences of Missing the Due Date

If you fail to deposit TDS by 7th October 2025:

  • Interest @ 1.5% per month will be levied for delay.

  • Late fee of ₹200 per day under Section 234E may apply until filing of TDS return.

  • Penalty under Section 271H may also be imposed by the tax department.

Thus, missing deadlines not only increases financial burden but also causes compliance issues.
