Why Compliance Matters
Non-compliance can lead to heavy penalties (up to 100% of tax due)

TDS Basics
- TDS = Tax Deducted at Source (applies to payments > ₹30k)
- Common sections: 194C (contractors), 194J (professionals)
- Deduct at payment time or invoice due date (whichever is earlier)
- Department heads must verify TDS applicability before approvals
3
GST Essentials
- Input Tax Credit (ITC) requires valid tax invoices
- Invoice must show GSTIN, HSN code, and payment details
- ITC claims allowed only within next financial year
- Missing invoices cost companies 18% extra on purchases
4
Critical Timelines
- TDS deposit: By 7th of next month (e.g., April TDS by May 7)
- GSTR-3B filing: 20th monthly (22nd for quarterly filers)
- Late fees: ₹50/day (max ₹5k) for GST, 1.5% monthly interest for TDS
- Example: ₹1L payment with 30-day delay = ₹1,500 penalty
