The link between one TDS or TCS deduction in the withholding register and the deposit challan that pays it, with the tax amount that challan carries for it. Allocations are created only when challans are drafted (by the monthly TDS/TCS compliance job or the reconciliation page's Allocate to Next Challan); each drafted deduction gets exactly one allocation, and a deduction that already has one is never drafted again. Deposit Challan totals the challan's allocations to set its Tax Amount and works out interest for each one, then marks the linked deductions Deposited. The quarterly return reports each deduction against the challan of its allocation once that challan is Deposited or Verified, and the reconciliation treats a deduction as deposited on the same basis. Nothing removes an allocation automatically. The records are in no app and have no menu entry; a challan's Overview tab lists them under Deductions.
Fields
| Field | Label | Type | Required | What it does |
Amount | Amount | Currency | | The deduction's tax amount, copied when the allocation is created. Deposit Challan totals these amounts for the challan's Tax Amount and interest, and the quarterly return reports it as the deduction's tax deposited. It is not refreshed if the deduction changes later. |
