Delhi High Court held that section 205 of the Income Tax Act puts a bar on direct demand against the assessee to the extent where TDS is deducted from his income. It is irrelevant whether TDS is deposited or not and whether Form No. 16A is issued or not.
If a taxpayer has evidential proof that TDS is already deducted on a particular Income, then even if such TDS credit is not reflected in 26AS, the taxpayer can manually claim the TDS credit, while filing ITR.
What if banks goof up on TDS on fixed deposits
×
I had taken a senior citizen savings scheme for ₹15 lakh with a PSU bank in 2018-19. Due to a clerical error, the PAN was not entered in their system. Accordingly they deducted TDS at 20 per cent on interest and as my PAN was not mentioned, the deduction does not reflect in Form 26 AS. Now, I cannot claim credit for the TDS. What is the solution to this problem?
Murli Krishnamurthy Since the amount of tax deducted at source (TDS) is not reflecting in your Form 26AS, you may request your banker to file or revise their withholding tax return for the relevant quarter to which the transaction pertains. Once the details of the correct PAN are provided in the revised TDS return by the banker, the amount of TDS deducted will reflect appropriately in your Form 26AS.
