Capture challan TNS 281 details to deposit Tax Deducted at Source/ Tax collected at source (TDS/TCS) every month. After submitting Challan TNS281 to 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 tax payer 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.

1. Log into the system as HR Manager/ HR Admin.
