A person who is liable to deduct tax at source has to file the TDS return as part of compliance. A TDS return is submitted by Tax Deductor in respect of every quarter with the Income Tax Department. The return is a statement that entails the details of the tax collected, source of collection and tax paid to Government for the reporting period.
Generally, tax is deducted on transactions such as Salaries, payment to professionals and contractual basis, payment of rents exceeding certain amount, etc. For every such type of transaction and payment, there is prescribed rate of interest. The deductee can claim the benefit of the tax deducted while ITR filing, only if the deductor has filed the TDS return on time.

As the name says, TDS is collected on source of income and therefore the frequency of collection is as frequent as the transactions are. This makes track of deduction difficult. Therefore, a certificate on the letterhead of the deductor is issued to deductee for the TDS payment. Individuals are advised to request for TDS certificate wherever applicable, if not already provided.
The taxpayer failed to file TDS return before due date has to pay ₹ 200 per day of delay in filing as an additional fee. Apart from an additional fee, the penalty can be levied u/s 271H of Income Tax Act. The minimum penalty prescribed is ₹ 10,000 which may extend to One Lakh Rupees.
