Hi All,

I have the following query in relation to non- submission of Form 15G/H

One my client has collected form 15G/H from the parties but has not submitted the same to the department. Now the department in scrutiny proceedings want to disallow the same for the violation of sec 40(a)(ia) .

Can assesseee seek for the allowances of such expenses on the basis that there was only procedural lapse to file the Form with the department however the Forms were fully valid in its originality

Also correct me , if I am wrong i n the following :

The last date to file Form 15G/H is the last date to pay the TDS in time to the department.

Awaiting an early reply

2) The person responsible for paying any income of the nature referred to in sub-section (1) or sub-section (1A) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Chief Commissioner or Commissioner one copy of the declaration referred to in sub-section (1) or sub-section (1A) on or before the seventh day of the month next following the month in which the declaration is furnished to him

I have made a Fixed deposit of Rs. 34537 on 26.01.09 @ 9%p.a. for 1000 days having a Maturity Value of Rs. 44091 dt 23.10.11. I have received on maturity (Net of TDS:Rs.1115) Rs. 42976.My total Interest for 1000 days is Rs. 9554.
I wants to kno whether bank has valid reasons for deduction of TDS u/s 192A. As my Interest on F.D. doesnt exceeds Rs. 10000 in a financial year.

In case there is delay in submission of Form 15G / H. as there is only fault on the part of the assessee was that the relevant form could not be submitted within time stipulated in the Act. However, the same were available before AO at the time of framing the assessment order, therefore the payments made to parties could not be disallowed.
