    dear Tax advisor,

    What is the legal position of the employer(deductor) deducting the tax from employees, running into lakhs but not depositing the same till as late as jun-july of next year same isreflected in monthly pay slips). Further no qtrly returns given for overtime allowances and the final form 16 given only in 3rd week of july, just 10-15 days before last date of filing the ITRs. What is the employees standing and can he file an ITR based on TDS in salary slips but not shown on TRACES or IT website ?

  2. Natabar Panda, Advocate, High Court of Orissa says:

    Mr. Roy,
    As you have asked a question I must reply to it. For the present you please file an appeal before the concerned CIT(A)depositing Rs.250/- per appeal towards filing fee against the order of imposition of fee. All the Tax Professionals are working on the issue. CBDT has exempted Govt. deductors in the mean time. So I hope there shall be some sorts of order in your favour.Please wait and watch.

    Like 234E, there should corresponding provisions for late fee to be paid to the assessee by Income Tax Department, for delay in issue of refund, non-processing of 154 applications, not giving appeal effects and other matters, then it will be lead to natural justice, otherwise, it is a draconian law.

  5. Natabar Panda, Advocate, High Court of Orissa says:

    Recently Hon’ble Bombay High Court has also granted stay of demand U/s.234-E of the Act. Hon’ble Orissa High Court has asked to explain the difference between ‘fee’ and ‘fine’. The case shall come for hearing after summer vacation.I shall let you know the fate of the case in time.
