What the return is

Form 27Q is for a payment to a non-resident. The quarterly dates are on the TDS return page. 31 October 2026 is the July to September return, and that date has not passed. The 31 January, 31 May, and 31 July 2026 rows have passed. The return for October to December 2026 is not a later row on this calendar. A holiday can move a date by a day or two. Confirm on the portal whether this payment is Form 27Q before it is filed.

The calendar rows name Form 24Q and Form 26Q. This page does not add Form 27Q to that label.

What it is not

Form 24Q is the salary return. That return is on the Form 24Q page. Form 26Q reports non-salary payments such as contractors, professional fees, rent, and commission. That return is on the Form 26Q page. Filing Form 27Q does not file those returns. The deposit of the tax is the 7th, for the previous month, on the TDS payment page. Form 16A is the quarterly certificate for non-salary TDS, on the Form 16A page. This page does not state a due date for that certificate. The section and the rate stay on the rates page. A percentage is not copied here.

The income-tax return where tax audit applies is a different filing, also listed on 31 October 2026, on the audit-case page. Filing one does not file the other.

If a return is late

Interest and late fees depend on the delay. The amount is the one the portal shows. It is not stated on this page.

Before the return is filed

  1. Send the payment list, and say that the payee is a non-resident.
  2. The desk confirms the form on the portal and that 31 October is still open.
  3. You approve the draft. The return is filed after that approval.
  4. The acknowledgement is shared after the portal accepts the return.

The return is quoted before it is filed. The first discussion is free. The length depends on the file.

Common questions

No. 31 October 2026 is the July to September quarterly return, and that date has not passed. The 31 January, 31 May, and 31 July 2026 rows have passed. Confirm on the portal whether this payment is Form 27Q.

Is Form 27Q the same as Form 26Q?

Is the deposit on the 7th this return?
