Fiing TDS Return Without Sufficient Nos of PAN of deductees

 As per instructions issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), it is mandatory for deductors to fileTDS/TCS statements with a threshold limit of Permanent Account Number (PAN) of deductees. ReadPAN Percentage FOR TDS/TCS Return Enhanced!

1. Suppose a challan payment of Rs.1,00,000/- has been made for nonsalary TDS against 100 deducteeseach with TDS of Rs.1,000/-. Under the existing procedure the deductor will have to quote at least 85 PAN failing which his return will be rejected.
2. If there are only 50 deductees whose PAN is available and the deductor attempts to file a return with details of 100 deductees with PAN of only 50 deductees, the return will automatically be rejected at present.
3. However, if he files a return with challan amount of Rs. 1,00,000/- and with details of 50 deductees with PAN, with deductee total of Rs.50,000/-, the return will be accepted. It means the deductor can furnish the details relating to such deductees whose PANs are available.
4. The deductor can later file correction returns with other details of remaining deductees with the samechallan details, i.e., the challan amount should be the amount deposited (in this case Rs. 1,00,000/-).
5. The return will be accepted so long as the TDS total of incremental deductees is less than or equal to the balance of Rs.50,000/-.
