Dear Deepa
Short Deduction notice comes in the following situations
1. When wrong section has been put in challan details. For example deduction u.s 194c should be between 1.03 to 2.266 for fy 2007-08, if u have selected 194A or 194J in challan details it should be 10.0 to 11.33 % so machine will take this as short deduction
2. Some times while deducting tds in each payment flat % as per provisions are not deducted. Instead some thing less or some thing more is deducted and this is adjusted against future payments in such a way that overall payment to the concerned party and overall tds in a financial year is as per the provisions of the act. In such a case machine will leave all payments where excess tds has been deducted and will pick up where less tds has been deducted and will issue short deduction notice for the same
FOr deducted/ collected but not paid
