CERTIFICATE OF PROFESSIONAL FEES RECEIVED AND TDS RECONCILIATION

This is to certify the professional fees received by ___ (PAN: ___) and the tax deducted at source thereon, payer-wise, for the financial year ___, based on Form 26AS / AIS, invoices raised and books of account produced before us and the information and explanations given to us.

This certificate is a supporting reconciliation and does not itself claim TDS credit — the credit is claimed in the income-tax return via Form 26AS/AIS matching. Any difference between TDS per books and TDS reflected in Form 26AS/AIS should be reconciled and noted separately before relying on the figures above. This certificate is based on the information furnished and verified to the extent considered necessary; it does not constitute an audit opinion within the meaning of the Standards on Auditing.

Common questions

FAQs.

Why reconcile professional fees payer-wise rather than as one lump figure?
TDS under Section 194J is deducted independently by each payer at the time of payment/credit — reconciling payer-wise against Form 26AS/AIS is how you confirm no TDS credit is missed or double-counted when the return is filed, especially when there are several clients each deducting tax separately.
What if TDS deducted per books differs from Form 26AS?
Reconcile the difference before relying on this certificate's figures as final — common causes are the deductor filing its TDS return late (so the credit hasn't reflected yet) or a mismatch in PAN/quarter on the deductor's filing. Note any unreconciled difference explicitly rather than certifying a figure that doesn't match 26AS/AIS without explanation.
Does this certificate itself result in claiming the TDS credit?
No — this is a supporting reconciliation document. The actual TDS credit is claimed in the income-tax return itself, via matching against Form 26AS/AIS at the time of filing; this certificate is prepared to support that filing or to keep as the professional's own record of fees and TDS across payers.
