Dear Friends
One of my engineer friends who was working for a big consultancy firm, till about 1.5 years ago, received his Annual Tax Statement on email. There his previous employer has shown consultancy fees in his name to the tune of approx 17L annual. the statement shows that the TDS to that effect has been credited. But my friend has filed his return as per the form 16 issued by his present employer. he tried to contact his pervious employer, and has written an email to the effect pointing out the discrepencies. He has even written a mail to NSDL informing them of the discrepencies. But nither of them has replied to him . Also he is wondering this might lead to service tax problems as the amount credited is clearly shows that he has provided professional services. What is the remedy and how can this be sorted out once and for all so that in future there are no problems as far as statutory authorities are concerned
Thanks in advance
