# TDS Payments

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is a percentage of income withheld by the payer and directly remitted to the government on the individual’s behalf. With this module, you can easily view all TDS liabilities and associate them with the relevant challans.

## TDS Liabilities

In this section, you can view all TDS liability details and record payments for them.

### Enable TDS Liabilities

Before generating the TDS liabilities, you need to enable the feature. Here’s how:

*   Go to **Settings**.
*   Navigate to _Taxes and Compliance_ and select **Direct Taxes**.
*   Under _Income TDS Settings,_ check the **Enable TDS Liabilities Report** option.
*   Select the month from which you want to generate the TDS liabilities in the **Generate From** field.
*   Click **Save**.

### View TDS Liabilities

After enabling the feature, the TDS liabilities will be generated starting from the month you selected. To view the TDS liabilities:

*   Go to _TDS_ on the left sidebar and select **Liabilities**.
*   The TDS liabilities will be listed starting from the month you selected. Select a liability to view all the transactions from which TDS was deducted for that month.

## Record Challan

If you’ve paid the TDS to the authorities for a liability, you can record it as a challan in Zoho Books. Here’s how:

*   Go to _TDS_ on the left sidebar and select **Liabilities**.
*   Select a liability.
*   Click **Record Challan** in the top right.
*   Enter the **Amount**.
*   You can add **Penalty** for any delay in TDS Return filing.
*   You can add **Interest** if you have failed to deduct TDS for this liability, or if you have not paid the full or partial tax to the government after deduction.
*   Enter the **Challan Number**, **BSR Code** (Branch Code) of the challan and select the **Payment Date**.
*   Select the **Paid Through** account.
*   Select **Auto allocate payment to all the listed liabilities** to automatically associate the payment amount from this challan with all the listed TDS liabilities for the selected month.

**Note:** The **Auto allocate Payment to all the listed liabilities** option will be available only if the payment amount exceeds the liability amount.

*   Select a **Location**.
*   Click **Save**.

*   Go to _TDS_ on the left sidebar and select **Liabilities**.
*   Select a liability.
*   Select the transactions that you want to associate with the liability.
*   Click **Associate Challan** in the top right corner.
