TDS DEDUCTED 1% INSTED OF 20%

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A company mistakenly deducted only 1% TDS for an individual with a valid but inoperative PAN, leading to a default notice from the Income Tax Department. They need guidance on paying the difference (19%) and filing a correction statement via TRACES. The process involves paying the shortfall using ITD challan code 400, then editing TDS entries on TRACES to reflect the full 20% deduction, adding the shortfall challan, and finally adding deductees with the correct 'amount paid'.

23 November 2023 File TDS correction statement. There are three steps:
1. Edit existing TDS entries of that inoperative PAN. Change 'Amount paid' to 'TDS' / 20%, so it reflects that 20% tax has been deducted.
2. Add shortfall paid TDS challan.
3. Add deductees under the above TDS challan - Enter 'Amount paid' as 'Amount paid' shown in the original return less 'Amount paid' from step 1.

That's how we have done.
