In the relevant case, the assessee was engaged in the business of banking activities/services. During verification of the TDS return, the AO observed that the assessee had made payment towards MICR charges to MICR centre managed by State Bank of India without deducting TDS.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes has decided to relax norms on scrutiny of tax payers whose premises have been surveyed by the officials, a step aimed at encouraging evaders to pay up. The decision is likely to provide relief to thousands of taxpayers and it would save them from harassment at the hands of taxmen apart from litigation costs, said a senior Finance Ministry official. The decision has been taken following Finance Minister P Chidambaram’ s assertion that government wanted to send a message that those who comply with the tax laws would not be harassed by the tax officials.
