TDS statements for tax year 2026-27 onwards are under the Income-tax Act 2025. The late fee is Sec 427 of the Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 234E), still ₹200 a day capped at the TDS amount.

Provisions

Sec 427, Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 234E); Sec 397(3)(b), Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 200(3)); Sec 399, Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 200A)

Analysis

Only the numbers changed; the fee logic is the same. Example: Form 140 for Q1 2026-27 due 31 July 2026 filed on 20 August 2026 is 20 days late, so ₹4,000, unless the TDS in the statement is lower. The intimation will be under Sec 399 of the Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 200A). Quote the new form names in your records.
