What Is TCS Compliance?
A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.
TCS (Tax Collected at Source) is tax a seller collects from the buyer at the point of sale on specified transactions, deposits with the government, and reports in the quarterly Form 27EQ so the buyer can claim credit through Form 27D.
Under Section 206C of the Income-tax Act, 1961, a seller of specified goods — and, under 206C(1F)/(1G)/(1H), of motor vehicles, LRS remittances/tour packages and goods above the threshold — must collect TCS from the buyer, deposit it, and file the prescribed quarterly return.
Administered by the Income Tax Department; returns are filed through the e-filing / TIN system and certificates and defaults are managed on the TRACES portal. A valid TAN is required to collect and deposit TCS.
TCS is an ongoing obligation for as long as the seller makes specified sales — deposited monthly by the 7th and reported through Form 27EQ each quarter, with Form 27D issued to buyers.

TAN is mandatory
A valid TAN is required to collect and deposit TCS and to file Form 27EQ. If you do not have one, we help you obtain it before your first collection.
Buyer PAN or higher rate
Where the buyer does not furnish a PAN, a higher TCS rate applies under Section 206CC. Collect and verify buyer PANs to avoid short-collection defaults.
Deposit by the 7th
TCS collected must be deposited by the 7th of the next month (March collections by 30 April). Late deposit attracts interest under Section 201(1A).
Reconcile before filing
PAN-wise collectee details and challan (CIN) figures are reconciled before filing Form 27EQ so buyer credit reflects correctly in Form 26AS / AIS.
