TDS checker
Checks TDS on vendor bills and advances: section, rate, limits and deposits, with the fix for each.
How it works
Goes through a month's (or the year's) vendor bills and advances in Books and checks the TDS on each: lines with no section that look like contract, professional, rent, commission or interest work; sections that don't fit the SAC or the vendor's own section; the higher rate when a vendor has no PAN; lower deduction certificates not used; the yearly limit crossed when all of a vendor's bills are counted; advances paid with no TDS; and TDS not deposited by the 7th of the next month (30 April for March), with the interest. Every finding shows what was expected, what Books has, and the fix. Rates, limits and due days are your company's own TDS settings in Books; all figures are worked out from your books, not by the AI. On your Confirm it can set the section on a draft bill, or prepare a draft journal for TDS short on a posted bill. It never posts, pays or deposits anything.
The check, the findings and what's due are free. The written overview uses a few credits.
What it reads
- Vendor bills and advances of the companies you can see in Books, with their TDS
- Your TDS codes, rates and limits, vendors' PANs and certificates
- TDS challans and their dates
When it starts
- When someone who manages purchases, files TDS or sees financial reports asks for a TDS check
What it can do
- Set or change the TDS section on a draft bill, when you confirm (after you confirm)
- Prepare a draft journal for TDS short on a posted bill, when you confirm (after you confirm)
What it never does
- Post a bill or journal, pay a vendor or deposit TDS
Safe by design
- One assistant, many agents. Ask the Employee assistant in the app or on WhatsApp; it calls the agents your company has hired that you may use.
- Hired, not switched on. Your admin hires each agent from the catalogue and chooses who can use it.
- Agents propose, people confirm. Anything that changes data, like a leave request, waits for a person to confirm it.
- Same access as the user. An agent sees only what the person asking is allowed to see.
- AI processing in India. Agents run on models hosted in India (AWS Mumbai).
- Budgets and a hard stop. Set a monthly credit limit per agent; agents stop when credits run out.
- Every run recorded. Admins see each run, the credits it used and what it did.
