TDS & 26Q
The TDS you deduct, tracked from expense to 26Q
Record TDS you withhold paying vendors, track every ITNS 281 challan per quarter, and hand your CA a ready 26Q workbook with Form 16A working copies.
What it solves
TDS you deduct paying contractors, rent or professional fees is easy to withhold and easy to lose track of: which deductions are deposited, which challan covered them, and what goes into this quarter's 26Q usually lives in a spreadsheet nobody trusts. Finocket captures the deduction on the expense itself and keeps a per-quarter deducted-vs-deposited register, so the gap you still owe the government is always one glance away.
How we're different
Both sides of TDS live in one hub but never blur: tax clients withheld FROM you (reconciled against Form 26AS) sits on a separate tab from tax YOU withheld as a deductor against your TAN. Missing supplier PANs are flagged at entry time — before section 206AA's 20% rate becomes your problem — and quarter-end produces working papers in the shape your CA's RPU/FVU workflow actually consumes, instead of pretending to e-file for you.

Questions
Does Finocket file my 26Q TDS return?
No — it prepares a reconciliation-friendly 26Q workbook (challans, deductee annexure, summary) that your CA loads into Protean's free Return Preparation Utility, validates with the File Validation Utility and files. Finocket never auto-files anything.
Are the Form 16A PDFs valid certificates?
No — they're watermarked working copies for your records. The legally valid Form 16A is downloaded from TRACES after your 26Q is processed.
What if a supplier hasn't given me their PAN?
Finocket flags the entry immediately — under section 206AA a missing PAN can force deduction at 20%, and the 26Q reports the row as PANNOTAVBL — so you can chase the PAN before quarter-end.
Learn how it works
TDS you deduct — challans, 26Q and Form 16A
Record the TDS you withhold when paying vendors, deposit it by challan against your TAN, and hand your CA a ready 26Q workbook plus Form 16A working copies each quarter.
Your accountant prepares, you approve
An accountant can prepare a GST return and send it for your approval. They cannot approve it themselves, you see the tax payable before you agree, and if the figures change afterwards the approval stops counting.

Filling a client in from their GSTIN
Type a GSTIN and Finocket fetches the name and address from the GST portal — for your clients, and for your own business during setup. PAN and state fill instantly from the number itself, and it warns you about a cancelled or composition registration.
