Once tax has not been deducted and even if such tax has been paid by the deductee, Disallowance u/s.40[a][ia] can be made

February 11, 2012 939 Views 0 comment Print

Secondly, the Hon’ble Supreme Court vide para-10 has clearly mentioned that in view of Circular No.275/201/95-IT(Clause (b) of Explanation 1 to sec.115JB) dated 29-1-1997 no demand u/s.201[1] could be enforced after the deductor has satisfied the officer that taxes due have been paid by the deductee assessee.
