Sir Ours is State Bank of Mysore . We have received late filing fees demand notice under 234E . 6th march CBDT issued a notification as the government companies are exempt from the late fees u/s 234e . Please let us know that whether can we claim this exemption ?

Rama...the circular said govt departments are covered in it. I am not sure state bank or associates' employees are considered as govt employee. The tds returns of the bank (SBI and associates) are also not filed as govt deductors.

Sir could you please let me know in what way we can produce the reason to avoide the penalty ? Because Bank is established newly therefore due to scarcity in staff and scarcity in TDS awareness it has happened .

if the deductor (college) is the govt deductor, then follow the circular.
I believe State Bank of Mysore is old enough!!! plus there is no relief as on today for non-govt deductors...a case is going on challenging the validity of 234E. thats the only hope

U say we should wait till the issue get clear . But now we must pay the demand created by CBDT ? Or else we can wait till the Issue gets clear, then can we pay the demand of penalty ?

I said that the only hope...I didnt suggest that you should wait...if you dont pay the demand, department can initiate recovery proceedings
