TDS Reconciliation.
We reconcile tax deducted or collected, both by you and from you, against your books. On receipts we match TDS credits in Form 26AS (Form 168 from tax year 2026-27) and AIS with your sales ledger; as a deductor we match deductions, challans and filed statements with TRACES. The aim is full credit in your return and no open defaults.
Typically 5–10 working days for a year's data; the number of customers and vendors and the quality of TAN and PAN records drive the time.
