AskSolique | AI Tax Research for CA Firms

Photo: Unsplash A TDS return that has been filed and processed is not frozen. Wrong PANs, a challan quoted with the wrong BSR code, a deductee row left out, or TDS deposited under the wrong section can all be corrected afterwards through a correction statement. The difficulty for a CA firm is not that corrections are impossible; it is that the mechanics differ by the type of error, the window has narrowed since 2025, and every quarter the firm handles dozens of deductors at once. This note walks through how to revise tds return filings in the order a firm actually works, and shows where AskSolique fits when the question is "which correction type applies to this error" rather than "where is the upload button". When a TDS return actually needs revision Not every mismatch calls for a correction statement. The usual triggers are a Justification Report on TRACES showing short deduction, short payment or late payment defaults; a deductee complaining that credit is mis...

The Q2 deadline for tax year 2026-27 falls on 31 October, and for most CA firms that means a fortnight of chasing challan details, PAN corrections and deductee breakups from clients who sent half their data in September. Getting tds return filing right is less about the upload itself and more about what happens before it: clean deduction data, the right form, and a defensible position when a mismatch notice arrives later. AskSolique, an AI tax research platform built for Indian CA firms, sees the same handful of problems repeat every quarter, and this guide walks through them in order. One note before we start. The Income-tax Act, 2025 took effect from 1 April 2026, and it renumbered both the sections and the forms. The quarterly statement process is broadly the same, but the references your team writes in letters, working papers and replies have changed. Always confirm the current section numbers against the latest CBDT notification before quoting them to a client or an officer. ...

Every December, CA firms across India run into the same wall: dozens of clients, one annual return each, and a portal that does not forgive a careless table. For FY 2025-26 the GSTR 9 due date is 31 December 2026, and teams using AskSolique to track it alongside client-wise GST positions tend to start their reconciliation in October, not in the last week of December. This guide is a working checklist for that reconciliation: who has to file, what to tie out before filing, and where most annual-return problems actually come from. Who Has to File GSTR-9 for FY 2025-26 GSTR-9 is the annual return for regular taxpayers registered under GST. It is not filed by composition dealers (who file GSTR-4), input service distributors, casual taxable persons, non-resident taxable persons or TDS/TCS deductors. For smaller businesses, the government has again kept the relief for aggregate turnover up to Rs 2 crore. Notification No. 15/2025-Central Tax, dated 17 September 2025, makes the annual...

Every assessment season, CA firms across India see the same pattern: a client forwards an intimation, panics about the number at the bottom, and wants a reply sent the same day. Most of these are processing adjustments, not scrutiny, and they can be closed quickly if the team follows a fixed routine. This guide walks through that routine. For firms that handle the income tax demand notice 143 1 volume every year, AskSolique was built to cut the research and drafting time on exactly these cases. What a Section 143(1) Intimation Actually Is An intimation under section 143(1) is generated by the Centralised Processing Centre (CPC) after it processes a return. It is not an assessment order and it is not a scrutiny notice. CPC compares the return with the data it already holds, applies a limited set of permitted adjustments, and tells the taxpayer whether the result is a refund, a demand, or no change. The permitted adjustments are narrow. They cover arithmetical errors, incorrect ...
