February is an important month for Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) compliance.
Businesses, employers, and government offices need to stay on top of key deadlines to avoid penalties or delays.
From issuing TDS certificates to submitting statutory forms, meeting these dates ensures smooth tax reporting and reduces last-minute stress.
Key TDS Certificate Deadlines – February 14
On February 14, several TDS certificates for December 2025 payments must be issued:
Section 194-IA: Tax deducted on transfer of immovable property.
Section 194-IB: Tax deducted on rent paid by individuals or HUFs.
Section 194M: Tax deducted on contractual or professional payments.
Section 194S: Tax deducted on transfer of virtual digital assets by specified persons.
Issuing these certificates on time is essential for compliance and helps recipients claim tax credits without any issues.
Form Filing Deadlines – February 15
February 15 is another important date for statutory filings:
Form 24G: Government offices must submit this if TDS/TCS for January 2026 was deposited without generating a challan.
Quarterly TDS Certificate: For non-salary payments made in the quarter ending December 31, 2025.
Completing these filings ensures accurate records with the Income Tax Department and avoids potential penalties.
Staying organized and noting these February TDS deadlines can save time, reduce errors, and keep your tax compliance on track.
