A company has got a TDS notice for short-deduction of TDS for assessment year 2008-09. Form 16A for that year has also been given to the other party only at such short rate. The other company has already filed its return for that year, after considering the short paid TDS, and filed its return, after paying the balance dues. Now, should the defaulter company pay the short deducted tax because of the notice, or can it issue a certificate from the other company that all dues have been paid by that company. Is there any similar case law?

Can someone also enlighten me on "interest on delayed TDS" consequences? Pls answer at the earliest... its urgent....

In your case i would opine that since the tax has already been paid to department, interest need not be paid, it is only my opinion.
