A retired finance professional is facing a persistent issue where TDS deducted from their PF settlement in June 2020 has not appeared in their Form 26AS for FY 2020-21, despite 13 months passing. Numerous grievances, including to the PM grievance cell, have yielded only generic responses about technical issues with no resolution date. The individual is seeking advice on how to proceed, especially concerning filing their Income Tax Returns (ITR) without the correct tax credit information. The suggested next step is to escalate the complaint to the jurisdictional Income Tax Officer (ITO) TDS of the PF authority in Bangalore.
An amount of Rs. 1.07 lacs [rounded off] has been deducted from my PF settlement on 22nd June 2020 - 13 months back, by PF authorities, Bengaluru.
The same is not yet reflected in my Form 26AS for the financial year 2020-21
Have raised multiple requests, grievances [including PM grievance cell] but the same copy paste response from PF authorities for the past 1 year - there was some technical issue in uploading Q1 20-21 [now we are in Q1 of 21-22!] once this is fixed [without any expected date of closure] I will be able to see this in my Form 26AS
I am a retired finance person [3 decades of private service], and hence unable to understand and accept this same excuse/response
Can anyone suggest what needs to be done now (or) how to proceed further ? Please.
Thanks in advance. With warm regards G.DEVARAJ [devarajan.gopalakrishnan@gmail.com]
