TDS Return Deductee Line — entity reference

One deductee row of a quarterly TDS or TCS return: the return's copy of one deduction or collection, with the party's PAN, name and type, the section and payment code, the amounts, the rate, any remarks code and the challan row that paid it. Compute Return deletes and rebuilds every deductee row of the return, so the rows are a snapshot of the withholding register at the last compute; once the return is Filed they are no longer rebuilt, and certificates, the e-return file and the year-end reconciliation read them as stored. A non-salary or TCS return gets one row per deduction of the quarter, netted by reversals reported in the same quarter. A salary return gets one row per employee per posted payroll period with TDS. The rows are not in any app; open them from the Name column of the return's Overview, Deductees by challan tab.

Fields

FieldLabelTypeRequiredWhat it does
AmountPaidAmount PaidCurrencyThe amount paid or credited to the deductee. Non-salary and TCS rows show the deduction's transaction amount, reduced by any reversal reported in the same quarter; salary rows show the employee's gross earnings for the period.
CreatedByIdCreated ByLookup → UserAccountYes
CreatedDateTimeCreated OnDateAndTimeYes
DeducteeTypeDeductee TypePickListStatutory classification of the deductee: Individual, HUF, Company, Firm / LLP, AOP / BOI, Local Authority, Government or Trust. Non-salary and TCS rows copy the party account's Deductee Type at compute time; salary rows are always Individual. Values: Individual, HUF, Company, Firm / LLP, AOP / BOI, Local Authority, Government, Trust.
IdIdGuidYes
LdcCertificateNumberLdc Certificate NumberTextThe lower or nil deduction certificate's number, cited when Remarks Code is A or B. Taken from the certificate the deduction applied; when it is missing on such a row, validation warns.
ModifiedByIdModified ByLookup → UserAccountYes
NameNameTextYesRow identifier, built as the return name followed by -DD and the row's sequence number, for example a return name ending in -DD12.
OwnerIdOwnerLookup → UserAccountYes
PartnerAccountIdPartner Account IdGuidThe deducting company, copied from the return.
PartyAccountIdParty Account IdLookup → AccountThe vendor or customer the deduction was made from. Empty on salary returns. Together with PAN and name it decides which certificate the row is grouped into.
PartyNameParty NameTextThe party's name as it stood when the return was computed: the account name for non-salary and TCS rows, the employee's name for salary rows. Written into the e-return file and onto the certificate.
PartyPanParty PanTextThe deductee's PAN as written into the e-return file. Non-salary and TCS rows take the PAN recorded on the deduction when it was posted, so correcting the party's PAN later does not change rows for deductions already posted. Salary rows take the employee's PAN at compute time. Validation requires five letters, four digits and a letter on at least 85% of rows.
PaymentCodePayment CodeNumberThe payment code of the deduction's section. Empty on salary returns. The e-return file writes the payment code, or the section code when the payment code is empty.
PaymentDatePayment DateDateDate of payment or credit: the deduction's document date, or the payroll period's end date on a salary return.
RateRateCurrencyThe withholding rate applied to the deduction, as a percentage. Empty on salary returns.
RecordTypeIdRecord TypeGuid, hidden
RemarksCodeRemarks CodePickListStatutory remark on the row, copied from the deduction: A for a lower deduction certificate, B for a nil deduction certificate, C for the higher rate applied because the PAN was missing. Empty for a normal deduction. Nil-certificate rows are reported even though they carry no tax. Values: A — Lower deduction (s.395), B — Nil deduction (s.395), C — Higher rate (PAN missing).
ReturnChallanIdReturn Challan IdLookup → TdsReturnChallanThe challan row of the same return that paid this deduction. Filled when the deduction is allocated to a challan that is Deposited or Verified; on a salary return, when the employee's payroll period has a Paid TDS payroll statutory challan. Empty means the tax is not yet deposited, which validation reports as an error until the challan is posted and the return recomputed.
SectionCodeSection CodeTextThe section the deduction was made under, copied from the deduction. Salary rows use 392 for payroll periods ending on or after 1 April 2026 and 192 before that.
SequenceSequenceNumberPosition of the row in the return, starting at 1. Non-salary and TCS rows are numbered in order of deduction date, then deduction number; salary rows in order of payroll period end date, then employee name. The e-return file writes deductee records in this order.
SubscriptionKeySubscription KeyGuid, hiddenYes
TaxDeductedTax DeductedCurrencyTax deducted or collected on this row, after reversals reported in the same quarter are netted off the latest deductions of the same party and section first. The return's Total Tax Deducted is the sum of these.
TaxDepositedTax DepositedCurrencyTax treated as deposited: on a non-salary or TCS row, the amount allocated to the paying challan; on a salary row, the full TDS when the period has a Paid challan. Zero when the row has no challan row. Below Tax Deducted, validation warns of a short deposit.

TdsTransactionIdTds Transaction IdLookup → TdsTransactionFor non-salary TDS and TCS returns, the deduction in the TDS Transactions register that this row reports. Empty on salary returns, whose rows come from payroll. The register uses this link to refuse re-posting a bill's TDS once the deduction is reported in a Filed return.
