Hi,

I have been trying to get some answers to my below questions, but unable to find any on internet. Can you please help?

1) My father is a government employee in Police Department. The office have deducted around 10K as TDS and deposited to treasury as “Book entry”. Now when I am trying to file returns, I am unable to see that tax credit entry on Form 26AS for the salary TDS, hence unable to file his tax with the incomplete information. I am neither finding any option on the online form to enter it as "book Entry" itself without providing challan number and date. How do I go about this?

2) The building he resides in has 3 floors, where he receives rent from commercial let given out to two different tenants. The third floor is his residence. Although he is receiving commercial rent from two portions from two different tenants and third used by himself, since the income is from the same building, will it constitute as one property? With Salary and rent from one property being the only incomes, I believe ITR-1 form for e-filing. Is this right?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Sir, Your queries are answered as under.

1.In this case you should contact the Police Department and make sure that they have filed the TDS statement to the Income Tax department through NSDL or through TRACES. You should also ask for a TDS deduction Certificate os that you can make sure that the details of PAN are correctly filed by them.These days the certificates are generated online through TRACES website. So only they can help you out in this matter.

2. If a house property consists of two or more independent residential units, one of which is self – occupied and the other unit(s) are let out, the income from the different units is to be calculated separately.So in my opinion you should file ITR 2 in this case.

Did you receive TDS certificate form 16 from the police department? It is possible that they have deducted TDS from salary but not deposited or if deposited but not filed TDS returns. Check with the department for TDS certificate

The rent received will be part of income from house property so you can file ITR-2.

ITR -1 will be for one house property, but here you have two flats given to two separate individual and receiving rent separately.

No they havent given a TDS certificate. What they are saying is that it is a book entry with the treasury, who inturn will deposit it with the government. So no TDS certificate.

So they have given a paper with the details of amount paid and mentioned that it is a book entry.
