Nothing is required if you have paid the balance tds and filed revised return the credit of same can be seen in party's form 26 as.. nothing needs to be done now..

Got it โ so the company short deducted TDS and already filed revised TDS returns twice, but the balance TDS hasn't been paid yet?
Hereโs what you can do:
No declaration from party will relieve your company of TDS liability. The responsibility to deduct and deposit TDS on time is on the deductor (your company), regardless of whether the deductee pays their tax or not.
Deposit the short deducted amount ASAP. Since the balance TDS hasn't been paid, the company must deposit the remaining TDS amount immediately with interest and any applicable penalty for late deduction/payment.
File a revised TDS return again after deposit. After payment, file the revised TDS return reflecting the full and correct deduction for the quarter. You can file multiple revised returns โ there is no limit on the number of revisions before the due date.
No impact on deductee's liability. The party from whom TDS was deducted will get credit only once the full TDS is deposited and reflected in Form 26AS.
Interest & penalty Be prepared for interest under sections 201(1A) for late deduction and late payment, and possibly penalty if the delay is significant.
Summary: You cannot avoid TDS liability by declaration from the deductee.
Deposit the short deducted amount with interest immediately.
File the revised TDS return after payment.
Inform your accounts or tax department to avoid delays.
