26 December 2013 Sec 234E is having reference of Sec 200(3) & Sec 206C(3).
Sec 200(3) & Sec 206C(3)talk abount duty of person deducting the tax or collecting the tax to submit the statement ie filing of TDS return on due quarterly basis so that deductee would get TDS credit on time.
When a person fails to deduct the deductible TDS then Sec 201(1A)ie interest and Sec 271C ie penalty get attracted. Therefore where TDS is deductible but not deducted then Sec 234E is not attracted

Iam of opinion that 234E can be attracted on situation mentioned by me. On going through the first two links , they are of the opinion that 234E will not be attracted.
