"Form 26QB Filed with 1% TDS for Invalid PAN – Needs Immediate Help

One of my clients had their Form 26QB filed by a lawyer, who deducted TDS at 1% without verifying the PAN. However, since the PAN is non-operative, TDS should have been deducted at 20%. Now the client has approached me for a solution. Could you please guide me on the process to rectify this issue?

Quick Summary
A client's Form 26QB was filed with TDS deducted at 1% using an invalid PAN, when it should have been 20%. The demand notice has already been received. Unfortunately, relief for inoperative PANs expired on 31.05.2024, meaning the demand cannot be waived. The only recourse is to recover the excess TDS amount from the deductee.

You have to wait for short deduction demand notice from TRACES, till then you cannot do anything.

Sir, The demand has already been received. Could you please guide us on the process to apply for a waiver of the demand?

Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
