TDS Adjustment Entries in Tally Prime: A Complete Guide

TDS Adjustment Entries

TDS, or Tax Deducted at Source, is a tax that is deducted at the source of income by the payer and remitted to the government. TDS is a mandatory requirement for businesses and individuals to deduct TDS on certain payments such as salaries, rent, and professional fees. Tally Prime, a popular accounting software, offers a comprehensive solution for managing TDS, including adjustment entries.

What are TDS adjustment entries?
TDS adjustment entries are entries made to adjust the TDS deducted and deposited with the government against the supplier or vendor's outstanding balance. When TDS is deducted at the source, the supplier or vendor's outstanding balance is reduced by the TDS amount. However, if the TDS amount is more than the outstanding balance, then the excess TDS amount can be adjusted against other outstanding balances.
