11. Section 244A has been inserted on the statute by the Direct Tax Laws (Amendment) Act, 1989 we f. 1st day of April 1989 and it has been inserted in lieu of Section 214 243 and 244. Sub-section (1) of Section 244A provides for granting of refund by the Revenue to the assessee in the cases where payment of advance tax and TDS exceeds the tax liability In the present case, there is no dispute so as for the entitlement of assessee to get refund, but the controversy is regarding the period which is to be excluded as per provisions of Section 244A (2).
The government has asked the I-T department to soon process refund claims up to Rs 25,000 for every assessee whose tax is deducted at source (TDS) for 2007-08. “The Income- Tax Department has instructed the field formations to accept the TDS-payer’s claim, with certain exceptions . where the refund computed does not exceed Rs 25,000,” a Finance Ministry official said.

The Finance Act, 1994, provided for levy of service-tax in respect of ‘Taxable services’. Section 68 of the aforesaid Act lays down that the provider of taxable services shall be liable for payment of service tax, at the specified rate. The relevant provisions in this regard are section 68 of the Finance Act, 1994, as also Rule 6 of the Service-Tax Rules.
The Kolkata Income-Tax Tribunal has held that payment made by an assessee company to accredited advertising agencies could not be termed as payment of commission, and accordingly no TDS is required to be deducted under the provisions of section 194-H of the Income-Tax Act, 1961.
CIRCULAR NO 7/2008-Income Tax Dated: August 1, 2008 In exercise of the powers conferred under sub-section (1) of section 119 of Income-tax Act, 1961, Central Board of Direct Taxes hereby directs that corporations which are established by a Central, State or Provincial Act for the welfare and economic upliftment of ex-servicemen and whose income qualifies for exemption from Income-tax u/s. 10(26 BBB) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, are hereby given exemption from Tax Deduction/Collection at Source on their receipts.
Companies and individuals who do not reveal their Permanent Account Number (PAN) while receiving income from any source will be liable to pay tax deducted at source (TDS) at the maximum marginal rate of 30 per cent (plus surcharge and education cess). Under the Income Tax Act, 1961, any income payable to the assessee is liable for TDS by the person or entity making the payment. TDS rate ranges from 1 per cent to 30 per cent depending on the nature of income. The Central Board of Direct Taxes is considering changes to the Act to this effect.
(i) no annexures, TDS/ TCS certificates are required to be annexed to the returns of income. Wherever documents are attached with the return, the receiving official is required to detach and return to the tax-payers all such annexures; (ii) ITR-V verification form is in the nature of an acknowledgement, and therefore, the same should be received by giving a Return Receipt Number, as if it were a return. These ITR-V verification forms are to be received in separate counters to be set up for the purpose and these forms should be kept in safe custody
TAN is a unique identification number, which is allotted to people who are deducting or collecting tax at source on behalf of the income tax department. It has to be quoted in all TDS/ TCS returns. As in the case of permanent account numbers (PAN) that helps to keep track of all assessees and their returns, TAN is used to keep a tab on all tax dedicators and deductions. If all these officers have a TAN, It would be easier to track collections by state governments through TDS.
