Income tax form 16A

TDS / TCS 474 views 8 replies

I received an intimation from TDS department that i have not downloaded form 16A for my firm for all the deductions we made. It says there is a fine of 100 rupees per day per form. My CA tells me that the department never fines although it is mandatory to download form 16A. Can someone tell me if i need to pay a fine for not downloading form 16A

Downloading Form 16A is mandatory and there is a fine for that.

Problem is with the correction.For every correction , you have to download again
Download it at the earliest.
