    All the articles are wonderful and warn assessees to do and don’t. What action the Government proposes to give credit to the assessee when he can prove deductor has deducted amount from him and because of the fault of deductor the assessee is not getting the credit? The Government seems to be saying to the Assessee to fight with deductor and I will not give you credit & . deductor says so what I won’t do a damn
