I filed TDS returns for a branch of a nationalised bank, at the end of the year STATUTORY AUDITORS ASKED ME TO PREPARE A STATEMENT AND VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF SUMMARY OF TDS DEDUCTED MATCHES WITH the interest paid during i.e that year.
Theoritically he is right. i.e suppose the interest paid during the year is say 10,00,000 the TDS deudcted @ 10 % and @ 20% how much.
The logic of that CA who has passed the difficult exam of CA that too after undergoing practical training for few years - is how far logical.
In the case of banks audit IS THAT POSSIBLE- FIRST OF ALL ASKING THAT QUESTION IS CORRECT. IS that not quite meaningless. If you are not accepting it is meaning less, then answer how to prepare keeping the following
facts in view.
The bank pays interest on various kinds of deposits.
The TDS is deducted at various rates.
The TDS deducted may or may not match the statutory % age of deduction . for ex. instead of deducting @ 10% the software may deduct @ 8 % or 28% .or sometimes even 98%.
( If experts are REALLY INTERESTED on this, the banks who are using SARAL TDS software provides by Relyon software can get this information on this i.e various amounts various percentage of deductions - and how the tax audit report was filed.
If the tax audit report was so correct, how the Dept. is issuing notices for default amounts in repect of TDS )
apart from the above in general , can I know from the CAs who has passed the difficult exam of CA , how the interest paid on Flexi Deposits is identified and treated in the reports of tax audit.
