TCS Return (Form 143 / 27EQ).
Sellers and operators who must collect tax at source, on scrap, minerals, forest produce, liquor, specified motor vehicles or overseas tour packages, among others, file a quarterly TCS statement. From April 2026 this is Form 143 under section 394 of the Income-tax Act, 2025 (earlier section 206C and Form 27EQ). We compute, reconcile and file it each quarter.
Typically 4–6 working days per quarter after sales data is shared; the number of buyers and missing PANs drive the time.
