First of all thanking you for your all valuable articles, now i want to discuss the matter regarding filling of appeals before the CIT (A) as there are so many cases where the limitation for filling the first appeal is going to laps in the month of june 2021, but there is no E-Form No. 35 is available on the new portal of the ITD.
Thank for your guiding article
Is there any procedure to fill correction statement for forms which are escapred from reporting & come to notice after upload of return.
With due respect I will differ regarding filing procedure by the deductor. The deductor has no option except to submit the declarations electronically. Sub rules 1 and 2 of new Rule 29C is in respect of the deductee and not the deductor. A clarification was also sought from CPC TDS telephonically who confirmed my view point.
please tell me what will be the due date to file 15G and 15H?
can I file it in paper form as before ya online madatory he
and is it necessary to register as tax deductor or collector with dsc
