Dear friends,

I need advice for the following problem in TDS

I am a group A officer of Govt of India,VSSC. My employer has given me a TDS certificate for Rs. 81988 under section 203 of IT act for salaries for period from 1-4-2008 to 31-3-2009 on 14-5-2009 by quoting an incorrect employer TAN no TVDVI00171D. I had filed return on 28-7-2009. The correct TAN No is TVDI00171D. But this defect was not noticed by me when I received a notice under sec 143(1) of IT Act on 23-12-2010 for a tax demand of Rs 102242 (Rs 81988+20254interest) with a remark “TDS CLAIM NOT GRANTED AS YOUR TAX DEDUCTOR HAS NOT UPLOADED TDS DETAILS IN NSDL”. So I gave a copy of original TDS certificate to local IT office at Trivandrum to set right this issue and the officer told me that it will settle in due course. Now I found that tax refund of Rs19940 due to me for financial year 2010-11 was adjusted by IT dept CPC towards the earlier tax interest of20254 said above and a nil refund has been ordered. When I checked my 26AS statement there is no entry for TDS for this period.

Now only I noticed this incorrect TAN in my TDS certificate. Now what I should do further to settle this issue? I understand that Government deductors are using book entry for crediting to government account and not by 26AS

Thanks in advance

First of all contact to the certificate provider and get a correct certificate and further if your PAN is correctly mentioned than entry must be shown in the 26as.

I had already requested my employer VSSC Govt of India for correcting the TDS during January 2011 But so far they did not do it, What is the solution?

Dear Mr Sunilkumar,

Pl. write under REGD POST ACK DUE to your employer pointing out the discrepancy; with a request to make amendment in the TDS return and to upload the corrected return. Even if your department takes action to rectify the mistake, it will take maximum 1 month to get the correct position reflected in 26AS. Thereafter, you can take up with the Income Tax Department.

In any case, you have to file objection under Section 154 of the Income Tax Act with the Assessing Officer.

In case your department does not take appropriate rectification action within 1-2 months, then you have to again write to the Assessing Officer, IT Department enclosing a copy of your letter addressed to your Department and requesting them to take action (issue notice to the Department) against the Department.

In this way, your problem will get solved. In case the problem still persists even after 2-3 months, please come again.
