What Is a TDS Correction?
A TDS correction is a revised statement filed for a TDS return that is already submitted, to fix mistakes or missing details. It does not replace your whole return from scratch. It changes only the details that were wrong, such as a deductee’s PAN, an amount, a section code or a challan link. Once the correction is processed, the updated details flow to the deductee’s Form 26AS and AIS.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I file a TDS correction?
When the return has errors, such as a wrong PAN, wrong challan, wrong amount or missing entry, or when a deductee’s Form 26AS does not match.
Why is TDS not showing in the deductee’s Form 26AS?
Common reasons are a return not filed or not processed, a wrong PAN, an unlinked challan or an incorrect amount or section. Your CA finds the cause and corrects it.
Will a correction remove late fee or interest?
Not automatically. A correction fixes data errors. A genuine late filing fee or interest on late deposit may still have to be paid.
What are TDS correction fees in Bhubaneswar?
The government portal does not charge for filing. You pay only professional fees to a CA, based on quarters, errors and records.
What are CA charges for TDS correction?
