Note: The principal rules were published in the Gazette of India, Extraordinary, Part 11, Section 3, Sub-section vide notification number S.O. 969 (E.) dated the 26th March, 1962 and last amended vide notification number S.O. 1381 (E). dated the 02.05.2017.
Will the Government also extend the last date for filing ITR?
Invariably there is a delay in Form 26AS showing the credit.
OR
if there is a difference and one has to sort it out with the employer and resolve it, sufficient time is not available to Assesses.
Why not do away with TDS and provide a Form 15J so that individual undertakes to pay the TDS as Advance Tax and any delay beyond 15 days in remitting the same to attract :Late Fees.
TDS and reconciliation adds the problem only to Assesses.
Ther is not a single year in which all TDS has been reflected correctly in my case and it is nightmare to fight with deductors particularly with Banks like SBI..
