# TDS calendar for FY 2026-27: deposits due 7th, statements by month-end 2026-10-30T08:47:01+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Tax deducted at source in a month is generally deposited by the 7th of the following month, with a March exception pushing the deadline to 30 April 2027. Quarterly statements are due by 31 July for Q1, 31 October for Q2, 31 January for Q7 for Q3, and 31 May 2027 for Q4. Deposit and filing are independent obligations, so a timely deposit does not excuse a late statement. The source warns that revised filing dates under the 2025 Act via the Income-tax Rules, 2026, may differ from the table above. Finance teams are advised to confirm current dates on the income tax portal before fixing internal calendars. Form 16 for salaried employees is due by 15 June 2027. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The source supplies the raw calendar for TDS compliance in FY 2026-27, but the critical gap is the unresolved conflict between the dates shown and the revised timelines under the 2025 Act via the Income-tax Rules, 2026. Finance teams who rely solely on this table risk late statements if the portal date differs. The note itself warns of this discrepancy, yet provides no resolution, leaving compliance managers to verify the current filing dates manually on the income tax portal before setting their internal schedules. The practical advice, early deposit targets, ledger reconciliation, and separate March handling, targets the most common default causes, but the unresolved rule mismatch is the real exposure for the current fiscal year. ## Coverage - caclubindia.com Neutral calendar with a warning about rule conflict This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
