We have received demand notice from TRACES for late filing fees u/s 234E(for 3rd Quarter of F.y. 2012-13), but in 4th Quarter of F.Y.2012-13 we have erroneously paid Rs.9500 excess TDS which we have not adjusted against any party, can we adjust this excess amount paid against late filing fees as mentioned above ?

In my knowledge there is no such mechanism with the department at present. . In this case the type, details and section under which excess TDS was paid greatly differs in nature from the Late Fee. . However, the AO TDS may be contacted for the guidance though chances are less. .
