Gen TDS is return software, and it covers the whole quarterly cycle: deductee and challan entry, the statement, the FVU check, filing on the income tax portal, corrections, and Form 16 and 16A. Greenote does none of that today. No plan of ours prepares or files a TDS return, and none issues a certificate.
What Greenote has for TDS are two checks on the books in Tally: payments where TDS should have been deducted and was not, and the client’s 26AS and AIS against what the books show. Those are audit-season checks, done before and after the return, and they sit comfortably beside Gen TDS. They do not replace it.
Who Gen TDS suits
A CA or a deductor filing quarterly TDS and TCS statements for many TANs.
An office that issues Form 16 and 16A in bulk, signed and emailed.
A practice that wants the new form numbers handled for it from 2026-27.
What Gen TDS by SAG Infotech Pvt. Ltd. costs
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | INR 6,000 | marked with an asterisk on their page |
| Updation | INR 3,500 | the update charge, also marked with an asterisk |
| Trial | Free | their page gives the trial version 5 hours |
Their page marks both figures with an asterisk and does not say on that page what it stands for. On their GST software page the same mark means taxes are extra, so ask before you pay. Prices above were read from Gen TDS's own published pages on 11 October 2026. Pricing changes, so confirm on their site before you decide.

Gen TDS and Greenote: common questions
- Does Greenote prepare TDS returns or Form 16 like Gen TDS?
- No. Greenote does not prepare or file TDS returns. No plan today includes 24Q, 26Q, 27Q or 27EQ. Greenote does not prepare correction returns. Greenote does not generate Form 16 or Form 16A. If you need software to file with, Gen TDS is that kind of product and Greenote is not.
- What does Greenote do for TDS, then?
- Missed TDS finder and 26AS and AIS against the books. All of it is in the Tax and Audit and All-in-One plans.
- Can I use Greenote together with Gen TDS?
- Yes, and for most practices that is the sensible arrangement. Greenote gets the books into Tally and checks them; Gen TDS is where the return is prepared and filed. The two do not pass data to each other, so you carry the figures across yourself.
- How much does Greenote cost compared with Gen TDS?
- The TDS work is in the Tax and Audit plan, which is ₹11,999 a year for one person and includes everything in Starter. All-in-One, which is every plan together with the office around them, is ₹14,999. No GST is added on top. What Gen TDS publishes, read on 11 October 2026, is set out in the table on this page. Check their current pricing before deciding, since prices change.
- Can I try Greenote first?
- Yes. We set up every free trial on a short call, so it is ready for your own statements. The free trial runs for 2 days or 10 statements, whichever comes first, and needs no card. If you need more statements to be sure, ask us and we will add them.
- Does Greenote issue a GST invoice?
- No. Greenote is not GST-registered, so no GST is added to the listed price and the amount shown is the amount charged. The trade-off is that there is no GST invoice and therefore no input tax credit for your firm. If input credit matters more to you than the headline price, a GST-registered vendor is the better commercial choice.
