I received a short deduction Notice from Traces after three years I e, for the financial year 2016-17, Now I received short deduction notice for deducting Less TDS on salary. But my employees have already filed their Income Tax Returns by paying difference amount by Self Assessment Tax challans. Is it I need to deduct TDS again in this year and submit the revised TDS returns for the financial year 2016-17. If so is it Individual Assessee will get credit of the TDS amount ? Than how to replay for this Notice ?
