Capture challan TNS 281 details to deposit Tax Deducted at Source/ Tax collected at source (TDS/TCS) every month. After submitting Challan TNS281 to the income tax department, the details of the challan are saved in the Empxtrack system. These details can be used later to fill Form 24Q.
A taxpayer gets a tear-off portion from the challan from the bank with a unique Challan Identification Number (CIN) after getting it stamped by the bank.
CIN is a unique number containing the following information:
- 7 digit BSR Code of the bank branch where tax is deposited.
- Date of presentation of the challan (DD/MM/YY).
- Serial number of challan in that branch on that day (5 digits).
The CIN has to be quoted in the Income Tax Return as a proof of payment. It is also required for any further inquiry.
To capture the details of Challan TNS281, you need to:
● Log into the system as HR Manager.
● From the Roles and features menu, click on the Payroll link.
● Under Payroll Shortcuts, click on the Enter Challan Info tab.

● The Challan TNS 281 page appears.

● Select the Financial year, Pay frequency, Pay period and Company name.
