What are the Steps to Continue the Process of TDS Deposition?

• The person making the payment deducts TDS at a prescribed rate from the payment made to the recipient (the deductee, such as an employee, contractor, or vendor).
• After the deduction of TDS the deductor must generate a Challan ITNS 281 through the NSDL portal because of depositing the deducted tax with the government. 
• The deducted TDS is deposited with the Government through the banking channels, either online or offline, before the due date.
• After depositing the TDS, the deductor must file TDS returns (quarterly) to report the TDS deducted and deposited, using the appropriate forms (e.g., Form 24Q, 26Q).
• Once the TDS is deposited, the deductor issues a TDS certificate to the recipient, such as Form 16 (for salary payments) or Form 16A (for other payments).
