How to generate quarterly returns (Form 24Q)

Form 24Q is a comprehensive document for taxpayers to declare their TDS returns in detail. It comprises of two Annextures - Annexure 1 and Annexure 2. While Annexure 1 contains details of the deductor, challans, and deductee, it does not include salary details. This annexure needs to be submitted for all four quarters of the financial year. On the other hand, Annexure 2 must be submitted during the first three quarters of the financial year and includes detailed information about the salary, along with all deductions that the employee needs to claim.
