Coming to the provisions of section 40(a)(ia) of the Act, the said section also provides that any interest, royalty, fees for technical services or other sum chargeable under this Act on which tax is deductible at source under chapter XVII-B and such tax has not been deducted or after deduction has not been paid on or before the due date specified in section 139(1) of the Act. We therefore find that both the provisions of section 195(1) as well as 40(a)(ia) of the Act talks about deduction of tax at source where the sum is chargeable under this Act.
There is nothing in section 40(a)(ia) to treat assessee as a defaulter where there is shortfall in deduction of TDS and if the shortfall is due to any difference of opinion as to taxability of any item or the nature of payment falling under various TDS provisions, the assessee can only be declared to be an assessee-in-default under section 201 and no disallowance could be made.
