Dear friends,

I Have a Query on TDS. Looking for a Quick n Correct Reply from any of my all brilliant n genious frends.

A Private Ltd. Co. has Deposited the TDS (on Directors' Salary) thru a advance tax challan in the name of Company (metioning PAN of the Co. there in) instead of a TDS Challan (which should have been deposited by the co. mentioning there in the TAN of the Co.)

Co. has communicated wid d Concerned Authority in IT Department. n they replied its none of the matter to be considered by IT Deptt.. & d Co. Should communicate wid NSDL for further assistance.

Pls Reply ASAP.

Thanx n Regards,

CA Naveen

Sir,

There is not recourse available to the company. Such error cannot be rectified. Contacting NSDL would hardly be helpful as they will direct you to Income Tax Department. The company therefore has to deposit the tax deducted on director's separately through another challan. The company can treat this payment as an installment of advance tax in respect of Corporate Income Tax.

I agree with Shubhankar, the only recourse available is pay the TDS amount again and claim the amount paid previously as advance tax paid on income.

The easiest course is to treat it as advance tax and claim it/avail refund. All other measures even if it may turn successfull might not happen quite as fast as we want to considering the way things work in India.
