Dear Sir,

WE are a construction company.

Some of our clients have deducted TDS but not deposited. IT Deptt.has sent a notice u/s-143(1) for the AY-2017.18.

Client refused to deposit TDS, what should we do??? Please advise

REQUEST THEM TO REVISE THEIR TDS RETURN AND TELL THEM YOU HAVE REC'D THE DEMAND NOTICE FOR THE SAME. OTHERWISE YOU CANNOT CLAIM THAT TDS WHICH NOT APPEARING IN YOUR 26AS...

@ Jakir

Notice is obvious bcoz TDS claimed by you is not appearing in 26AS.

You can write to your AO ( alongwith some proof of deduction say pay slip, Form 16 etc) and complain that TDS deductor has not paid amount. Post complain, tax demand from you will be kept in abeyance by AO and no harassment from IT department for tax demand.
