Friends,
The Income Tax Department issues Return Preparation Utility (RPU) from time to time by making some more features from the last version of RPU. The Return Preparation Utility of Income Tax Department helps us to file our Quarterly Income Tax Return in electronic mode for this financial year. It is compulsory for all DDO's to file their income tax return in electronic mode by using this software. The key features of this RPU are given below. The Income Tax Department has notified revised file formats for preparation of TDS and TCS returns in electronic form. Deductors/collectors can prepare the e-TDS/TCS returns as per these file formats using in-house software or any other third party software and submit the same to any of the TIN-FCs established by NSDL. Deductors/collectors can also directly upload the e-TDS/TCS returns through NSDL-TIN website.
NSDL has developed software called e-TDS/TCS Return Preparation Utility (RPU) to facilitate preparation of e-TDS/ TCS returns. This is a freely downloadable MS excel based utility. Separate utilities are available for preparation of each type of return.
