UTN No.

16. The return of income in Form No. ITR-1 to Form No.ITR-8 for Assessment Year 2009-10 have been notified which requires, amongst other, the quoting of the relevant UTN for every TDS or TCS claim made by the assessee. Therefore, the credit for any TDS or TCS claim will be allowed, amongst others, if the assessee quotes the relevant UTN for every TDS and TCS claim and the said UTN matches with the UTN in the database of the Income Tax Department. With a view to enabling the processing of returns relating to Financial Year 2007-08 (Assessment Year 2008-09) and enabling the assessee to receive the UTN for TDS and TCS transactions in the Financial Year 2008-09 (relevant for Assessment Year 2009-10),

F.No. 142/22/2008-TPL

02 / 2009       th March, 2009

Notification No.

858(E), dated 25

F.No. 142/22/2008-TPL Circular No. 02 / 2009 dated 21st May, 2009 states the above procedure need to be followed as mentioned by Devanshi Gandhi but wat will be the status if the the UTNs are not received by 31st July, 2009 i. e. due date for filing income tax return for salaried and other individual? Will non filing of UTN be allowed or not.

There are more then 50 days in the due date of filing ITR, no one can expect the step of department in these days on the above issue.

Probably, we will get the UTN from NSDL before the due date but it it will not happen, The department may:

• step-up the due date of filing ITR
• issue is notification for filing ITR without UTN
• Make any other alternate arrangement

**DM

UTN is not a mandatory field in ITR. We can efile return even if we don't have UTN. It's an optional field, if u know it (i am sure nobody will get UTN before due date)  mention it otherwise prepare your return without UTN.

Ajay Jee,

r  u sure that this is mandatory field.

Pls confirm this with some point, experience, case ref. etc if you are having
