Statutory deadline
TDS and TCS deposit due date
Depositing the tax and filing the return are two different obligations on two different dates — this is the deposit.
TDS / TCS deposit
Tax deducted last month must be paid
Falls due
7th of every month
Applies if
you deducted TDS or collected TCS last month
Extensions happen. These are the statutory dates. The CBIC and CBDT extend them often enough that you should confirm against the official portal before relying on one — particularly in the first year of a change. Cortex warns you ahead of the statutory date, which is the one you can plan around.
Stop tracking this by hand.
Cortex watches every statutory date that applies to you alongside your receivables, your payables and the MSME 45-day clock — and emails you before one costs you money, rather than after. Upload a Tally, Vyapar or Busy export and it reads your numbers as they come.
General information, not tax advice. Your own dates depend on your registration, turnover and constitution — check with your CA.
