The Beep TDS Return & Form 16 Desk Skills certification checks whether you understand the day-to-day TDS work of an accounts or payroll desk — why a deductor needs a TAN, when TDS is deducted on non-salary payments, depositing it on time, filing quarterly TDS statements, and issuing Form 16 and Form 16A.
It also covers salary TDS through the year, collecting investment proofs, checking PAN before filing, fixing mistakes with correction statements, matching challan details so deposits are not left unmatched, and the documents an employee gathers for their own return. Questions use long-standing rules and say 'as per current rules' instead of quoting rates or dates.
The assessment takes about 7 minutes, is auto-scored, and produces a certificate with a unique verifiable ID you can share with anyone. Beep is backed by Shark Tank India, Google for Startups, Microsoft for Startups and AWS, with over 1 lakh people certified across 300+ fields.

TDS Return & Form 16 Desk Skills certification FAQs
Does this make me a tax practitioner or a CA?
No. This is Beep's own knowledge assessment of operational TDS desk skills, issued and assessed by Beep only. It has no affiliation with the Income Tax Department, ICAI, any government body or tax portal, and it is not a licence. It is not equivalent to being a Chartered Accountant or an Income Tax Practitioner and does not let you give tax advice.
Will the quiz ask me exact TDS rates and due dates?
No. Rates and dates change often, so the questions test how the desk works and say 'as per current rules' where a rule applies.
How is this different from the Income Tax Practitioner certification on Beep?
That certification covers return filing and tax law, such as ITR forms and deductions. This one covers the deductor's TDS desk — deposits, quarterly returns, Form 16 and corrections.
