Dear sir,
I took voluntary retirement after serving for more than 20 years. But my employers, illegally withheld a portion of my terminal dues. The High court decided in my favour and ordered my employer to pay all the balance terminal dues with interest @ 7.5% from retrospective date on which the retirement dues were due to be paid. Now, as a matter of fact, the rate of interest allowed by the court was so low being 7.5% simple rate of interest, it hardly took care of the inflation of over 8-9% during the past 10 years. In other words, the relief awarded by the court was hardly sufficient to negate the inflation. And even then, the employers deducted TDS on the said ‘interest” portion. My query is can I not seek refund of the entire TDS because if cost indexation is applied, the interest allowed is much less than the annual rate of inflation.
My second query is supposing I am not eligible for claiming Refund of TDS, the “so called relief by way of interest awarded by the court” is to be considered under the head “salary and allowances” because the said interest has been allowed on retirement dues or it is to be considered as “income from other sources” while filing I.T.R.
I do not know whether you entertain such type of requests from member of the public, but if you could do this favour, I shall feel obliged. If any payment/service charges are applicable, I do not mind paying if the same are reasonable. Thanks and regards,
Ashok Verma
