IV. The revised/modified TDS chart for the Financial Year 2006-07 is given in Annexure B. V. It is reliably learnt that TDS on interest is made during the month of March only at a few Branches.

For further guidance, if any required on TDS on other payments like interest on Deposits (U/S 194A), contract payments (U/S 194C(1)), Advertising contract (U/S 194C(2)), Commission or Brokerage (U/S 194H), Rent Payments (U/S 194I), and Professional/Technical Fees (U/S 194J) etc, including e filing of Form No.26Q, Branches may contact RO/Department concerned handling the subject at Head Office.

However, Sponsor Bank clarified vide its letter 835/ACC:NR/2006/F 169, dt.01.12.2006 that there is no specific clarification as to the filing of NIL return in Form No.24Q through TIN-FCs. However, the Sponsor Bank opined that there is no necessity to file NIL Return by the Branches as it amounts to payment of huge amount cumulatively each quarter towards e filing of Form No.24Q. They further opined that as and when notices are received, NSDL may be informed by a letter stating that Form No.24Q for the said quarter is NIL. In view of the above, Branches/Offices shall follow the clarification/opinion given by the Sponsor Bank with regard to filing of Form No.24Q. All other guidelines given in cited circulars are unaltered. This circular shall be circulated among all the staff working at Branches/Offices against their acknowledgement.
