The issue of certificate under Sub-section (1) of Section 197 of the Act is mandatory on fulfilment of conditions enumerated under the rules. For determining the existing and estimated liability of the assessee where tax deduction is from income other than dividends, the Assessing Officer is to be guided by Sub-rule (2) of Rule 28AA of the Rules.
