KDK’s TDS software is called Zen TDS in the Spectrum desktop package, and it is also part of Spectrum Cloud. Either way it is full return software: the quarterly statements, validation, TRACES requests and certificates in bulk. Greenote does not prepare a TDS return or a Form 16 in any plan today.
Greenote’s TDS work is two checks on the client’s books in Tally, for the audit season: TDS that was never deducted, and 26AS and AIS against the books. A practice on Spectrum keeps Spectrum for filing.
Who KDK Spectrum TDS suits
A CA firm that wants income tax and TDS in one package.
An office that issues TDS certificates to many deductees and wants them emailed in bulk.
A firm choosing between a desktop and a cloud product from the same vendor.

- 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 KDK Spectrum TDS?
- Yes, and for most practices that is the sensible arrangement. Greenote gets the books into Tally and checks them; KDK Spectrum 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 KDK Spectrum 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. KDK Spectrum TDS does not publish a price we could read on 11 October 2026, so ask them directly for a current figure rather than relying on any third-party page.
- 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.
