Tds certificate not received from deductor tax implications

FAQ FROM INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT

​I have not received TDS certificate from the deductor. Can I claim TDS in my return of income?

​​Yes, the tax credit in your case will be reflected in your Form 26AS and, hence, you can check Form 26AS and claim the credit of the tax accordingly. However, the claim of TDS to be made in your return of income should be strictly as per the TDS credit being reflected in Form 26AS. If there is any discrepancy in the tax actually deducted and the tax credit being reflected in Form 26AS then you should intimate the same to the deductor and should reconcile the difference. The credit granted by the Income-tax Department will be as per Form 26AS. ​

Regardless of big or small company, you have a right to ask the company to re-file TDS return in case mistake was from company's end. 

Retain evidence of your correspondence with the company including reminders sent

You have the right to claim full TDS deduction even if it has not reflected in Form 26AS due to employer's fault. Only eventuality is that you'll get a tax notice and you'll have to actually explain the AO supported by correspondence and other documentation that it was employer's mistake. 

There are a lot of precedents on this issue. I am sure you or your CA can search and find out. 

I will not advise you to fold up and pay tax as per your comment.
