Overview of TDS

Tax deducted at source (TDS) is a tax that is deducted from income that a company
in India pays to a recipient or supplier if the income amount exceeds a specific
statutory limit in a financial year.

The types of income that are subject to TDS include:

 Salary.
 Interest and dividends.
 Winnings from the lottery.
 Insurance commission.
 Rent.
 Fees from professional and technical services.
 Payments to contractors and subcontractors.

10
The withholding amounts for TDS can be deducted from an invoice submitted by a
supplier or from the payment that is issued to the recipient or supplier. Examples of
recipients and suppliers include contractors, providers of professional services, employees,
and real estate landlords. Companies submit a TDS certificate to each supplier on a
monthly or yearly basis.

The certificate includes the payments, as well as information about the company and
supplier. Companies must also submit an annual return to the government for each
recipient or supplier for the financial year. TDS certificate can be either Form 16
(R75I10A) or Form 26Q-P2P-IND (R75I122EQ). Form 16 is the TDS certificate
which an individual submits and Form 26Q is the TDS certificate which a company
submits to the tax authorities.

TDS must also be deducted from payments issued to third parties by both corporate
and noncorporate entities. The entity must deposit the amount owed for withholding at
any of the designated branches of banks that are authorized to collect taxes on
behalf of the government of India. The entity must also submit the TDS returns, which
contain details about the payments and the challan for the tax deposited to the Income
Tax Department (ITD).

For electronic TDS, companies must generate the Form 26Q for each financial quarter.
This is a statutory requirement for the ITD

 LEARNING
I learned through my training program, that how I can

 Improve communication skills.

 Analyze the business situation.
 Establish high standard in professionalism.
 Learn more than the theoretical knowledge.
 Learn book keeping practices of different companies.
 Apply the theoretical knowledge in actual organisation.
 Compare practical aspects with theoretical aspects.
 Make quick decision in real situation.
 Learn how promote and conduct research in business area.
 Promote my personal knowledge and professional preparation for future.
To properly integrate my theoretical knowledge and practical work.
 Plan for the future of oneself and learn how to adjust in an organisation.
 Know how to present your recommendations in front of your boss.
 Get knowledge of opportunities and threats while entering into an organisation.
 Get exposure to do a work in an organisation and also known about organisational
behaviour, ethical rules and regulations

Suggestions
 They have good opportunity to introduce the ISO standards training program which
no other firm is giving to customer.
 Try to adopt new technologies that their competitors are not using.
 Make a network that allows its customers to negotiate with them easily In
comparison of MSR & ASSOCIATES. With its competitors has an edge to make
an accurate and error free report.
 The local economy continues to be strong and we believe our typical clients will
continue to flourish.
 The company has mostly professional educated human resources, which are the
biggest threat for their competitors.
 The MSR & ASSOCIATES Has the facility to give coverage even the small
retailers for income estimation who want to take loan from bank.
 MSR & ASSOCIATES strongly needs to improve its network firms so as to be

19
 counted among one of the extensively know firms in UP. The partner needs to
make the best use of their goodwill to bring more clientage and reputation to firm.
They need to offer the audit services at most economical cost with the assured
quality services to retain and expand clients.
 The infrastructure and working condition reviews can improve the working
efficiency of the trainees. Audit and Assurance is the tough job. Some
motivational meetings and mentoring exercises would bring good feel among
employees for their work. Time to time financial bonuses or performance
incentives will energize the staff.

 The trainees are not offered extra financial or any other incentive for the extra
work or over time. This causes some sort of mental stings which immediately
needs to be overcome by the management. The firm, to be more competitive in
days to come, still has room for improvement in Information Technology. As
firm don’t have any of its website to attract customer and their timely
feedback as most of the good firms have their own web and well organized.

 Firm also lacks in marketing perspective as it does not any marketer to

market and introduce their business, firm is getting business only on personal
relations of the partners and other firm personnel. So if firm thinks to improve its
business volume it needs a professional marketer as many other big firms
adopted and have complete marketing department.

Limitations

 They have a small staff with shallow skills base in many areas.
 Less number of staff members.
 Developments in technology change this market beyond MSR & ASSOCIATES.
Ability to adopt.
 Change in government policies and procedures may act as threat for company.
 A small change in focus of large competitor might wipe out any market
position MSR & ASSOCIATES. achieve.
MSR & ASSOCIATES. Has many competitors. Under certain circumstances
these competitors may act as a major threat for the organisation .

20
 Conclusion
 MSR & ASSOCIATES is overall one of the profit making and reputed firm of
Etah. The organization since its very first day is devoted to providing quality
services. The detailed and through review of work and clients’ trust shows the
perfection with which it is working.

 The firm has earned a distinction of being placed in the category 'A' in the list
