# TDS Challans

A challan is a record of a TDS payment made to the government. In Zoho Books, you can record challans for TDS liabilities, associate unused challans with liabilities, and view, import, and export TDS challans.

## Record TDS Challans

If you’ve paid the TDS to the authorities for a liability, you can record it as a challan in Zoho Books. Here’s how:

*   Go to **Filing & Compliance** on the left sidebar and select **TDS Liabilities**.
*   Select a liability.
*   Click **Record Challan** in the top right.
*   Enter the **Amount**.
*   You can add **Penalty** for any delay in TDS Return filing.
*   You can add **Interest** if you have failed to deduct TDS for this liability, or if you have not paid the full or partial tax to the government after deduction.
*   Enter the **Challan Number**, **BSR Code** (Branch Code) of the challan and select the **Payment Date**.
*   Select the **Paid Through** account.
*   Select **Auto allocate payment to all the listed liabilities** to automatically associate the payment amount from this challan with all the listed TDS liabilities for the selected month.

**Note:** The **Auto allocate Payment to all the listed liabilities** option will be available only if the payment amount exceeds the liability amount.

*   Select a **Location**.
*   Click **Save**.

## Associate TDS Challans

You can associate unused challans with a liability. These are challans with amounts that have not been fully allocated. Here’s how:

*   Select a liability.
*   Select the transactions that you want to associate with the liability.
*   Click **Associate Challan** in the top right corner.
