What is the importance of a CSI file for the TDS return filling?
The CSI file is the most important part of the TDS return filing process because after we have paid our TDS liabilities per month wise then it is important to know what is the payment amount, date, section, payment type, etc. All these things are available in the CSI file, and because of this, the CSI file acts as a date and payment management agent when we file our TDS return.
That’s why the CSI file is the most important part of the TDS return process.
