DIN reactivation

A Director want to reactivate his old DIN (not in use since a few years). The mobile and email are old which he has no access too. When I am filling the new KYC form for reactivation (alongwith change in mobile number and email ID) it asks for DSC on form. I have to create his user profile to register the DSC. To create Business User ID, again I will require OTP on email and mobile which he is not able to access. In this situation what should I do to reactivate his DIN? Please help

TDS Return Q1 FY 2026-27

The original TDS return was successfully filed under Section 140 (Form 26Q) and was initially accepted by the Income Tax Portal.
However, upon checking the status on the TDS TRACES portal a few days later, I found that the return has been marked as "Rejected". To rectify the errors and submit a revised/correction return, I attempted to download the Consolidated (CONSO) File from the TRACES portal. Unfortunately, the portal is not allowing me to raise a request for the CONSO file due to the rejected status of the statement.
What will do pls guide on this.

SOMENATH DHAR

Hello Members,

I seek your guidance regarding a TDS issue on property sale.

My total TDS liability was INR 9,695.

I paid INR 9,635 on 7th November 2025, which was within the due date.

The remaining balance of INR 60 was paid later on 3rd September 2026 through a fresh Form 26QB.

Despite this, the Income Tax Department (ITD) has issued a defaulter notice and imposed a significant penalty on the amount of INR 9,635, which I had already paid on time.

I need advice on:

How to draft a reply to ITD clarifying that INR 9,635 was paid within the due date? To whom I should address, what is the email id?
How to link both Form 26QBs (acknowledgement numbers) to demonstrate that the full liability of INR 9,695 has been discharged?

Any expert inputs or references to relevant provisions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Somenath Dhar

THANKS IN ADVANCE

GOOD AFTERNOON SIR
As per the books Credit balance of GST is Rs 50 lacs but the ITC credit on GST portal is 20 lacs. It means an excess Credit as of Rs 30 lacs has been taken inadvertently which can be reversed in computation of income by deducting back to total income.
AM I RIGHT SIR

Taxable or Tax exempt

Dear Experts

I'd like to know if the money received as Corona Stimulus Economic Package from the US is taxable in India or not. Per the IRS it is tax free in the US. Schedule FSI doesnt have a relevant head to include this deposit under hence not included for many years.

Per the internet

Treated as a Non-Taxable Relief Grant (Not Income) -

Under the Indian Income-tax Act, a receipt is only taxable if it falls under the specific definition of "income" (such as salary, business profits, capital gains, or other regular streams).

The COVID-19 stimulus payment from the U.S. Treasury is a social benefit or disaster relief grant. It does not arise from any service rendered, employment, or investment activity in India, making it a capital receipt/personal relief aid rather than income.

Classified as a Government Aid -

In general tax principles, personal transfers or government aid given as financial relief do not qualify as taxable commercial or professional receipts.

Even though resident Indians are technically taxed on global income, statutory relief grants meant for public welfare do not possess the character of earned income or commercial revenue, meaning they are excluded from taxable computation under the Income Tax Department of India

Furthermore, the reason for asking this is because the user is interested in applying for the FAST-DS 2026 scheme.

1. The asset being declared under this scheme is a US bank a/c under Cat B (flat fee) route

2. The requiement for this bank a/c is 'Sum of ALL deposits'. The bank a/c was opened while NRI for salary

3. All the deposits in the users account was income that was taxed in the US. Upon becoming a resident, the US Treas deposited Corona Relief stimulus

4. Will this Corona stimulus be considered taxable or tax exempt during the FAST-DS 2026 filing

I am grateful for your expertise and response in advance

Sincerely

Mohan

My actual TDS amount is 9695 rupees. By mistake I paid amount 9635 rupees within due date (10th Nov 2025) through FORM 26QB. I shall pay now remaining amount 60 rupees. How should I fill up FORM 26QB so that I can say, I already paid 9635 rupees?
