Sir, the Article contains the Utility which can be used by small to big sized companies/entities.
Experte in IT is not required to understand this. Anyone who deals with work related to Tax/TDS/TDS Certificate can follow the steps mentioned in the Article and accomplish the desires results.
Instead of an entity’s staff calling ‘Customers’/sending mails individually, mails will be sent automatically to all the ‘Customers’ from whom you have not received TDS Certificates.
All one has to do is to put your 26AS details and the status for all the TDS Certificates received by you (which any company/entity must be maintaining) and the Utility will take care of the rest, definitely saving the time of your company’s personnel’s correspondence with the ‘Customers’

The Software utility is not practical for normal people who do not have much to claim as TDS. Only an IT splist will ever understand what you are trying to say in your article.
Secondly, you are calling the firm/company to whom you have lent your hard earned moneys, as CUSTOMER!! It is totally wrong. We are their customers and they are our service providers. So Change the language.
Thirdly unless your system is tested thoroughly whatever the people are doing in a longish way should continue to do! No wisecracking!
If you are really sincere with yopur Utility you should give a detailed demo on the internet.
Dear Sir,
The Form 26AS can be downloaded as either a Text or PDF format only as there is no option on Website to download in Excel format. Further, the file converter also does not convert it to Excel since the file is password protected. Kindly suggest a solution.
