However, there’s a risk that the deductor doesn’t conform to file a revised TDS return.
“In such circumstances, the tax deductee (the taxpayer) may avail credit score on the premise of the Transaction-Based Report (TBR) issued to him by the tax deductor. However, this may occasionally result in discover being issued to the taxpayer because of the discrepancy between the TDS claimed within the income-tax return filed and TDS mirrored in Form 26AS. However, a rectification utility could also be filed on this regard by the taxpayer to say the TDS credit score primarily based on the TBR,” mentioned Suresh Surana, founder, RSM India.
