Tds certificate not available - what to do?

As you will see in the ITR, the unique TDS Certificate number, cell is not compulsory; means if the TDS deducted is reflecting in your 26 AS then you can show it in your ITR without mentioning the unique TDS certificate number.

The Unique Certificate Number is optional when filing returns... You can file your return without having that certificate number...

you can simply keep it blank. As you can see while filing ITR.. the color of the text of that 8-digit certificate no is Black ,while others are in Red, that means they are mandatory....!

Just ensure.. you correctly fill in TAN, Amount deducted and other details as shown in Form 26AS exactly when filling ITR...

Yes they are right. At present Unique Certificate Number is not mandatory

Hi,

They are correct mentioning that unique TDS certificate number is not mandatory for filing ITR.

But to rectify the TDS details by rectification of ITR which have been erroneously filled and filed, unique TDS certificate number is mandatory. If Form 16A is not available with the Assessee, is there any other way to get the unique TDS certificate number. Because without unique TDS certificate number the e-filing website does not allow us to rectify the TDS details.

Can anyone help me out in resolving this issue?

Thanks in advance.
