In 1973, Swinnerton-Dyer completely classified all congruences for coefficients of normalized eigenforms in weights k ∈ {12, 16, 18, 20, 22, 26} on Γ_0(1) = SL_2(Z) using the theory of modular Galois representations. In this talk, we classify congruences of the Type I and Type II considered by Swinnerton-Dyer for the coefficients of eta-quotient newforms in S_k(N, χ), k ≥ 1 and prove them using theory of filtrations modulo primes. Further, we prove extensions of these congruences modulo prime powers.
