Challan Splitting If the TDS deducted from two assessees are say Rs 300 and Rs 500/- and paid by a single challan of Rs 800/-, then against both entries in the TDS statement please mention Rs 800/- and corresponding CIN. This problem has been taken care and the software has been recently modified by NSDL. Please do not spilt the payment in the TDS statement
Challan combining If the TDS deducted from a assessee is say Rs 1000 and paid by multiple challan of Rs 200/-, Rs 300 and Rs 500, then split the payment into 3 parts as per the TDS payment made while entering in TDS statement. Very often it is noticed that details of one CIN is mentioned in the TDS statements. It would result in short payment Please do not combine the challan but split the TDS payments.
Types of Default Non-marking of B for 4th Quarter E-payment after 8:00 p.m. No interest paid in case of delay Late Payment Less interest paid for delayed payment Wrong CIN quoted for Interest Challans Wrong linking of Challan Deductions TDS paid by cheque, realized after due date TDS paid 1 day late, bank holiday on due date.
Types of Default Splitting of Challan Combining of Challan Short Payment / NonPayment Practically not paid and applied some dummy CIN Mistake in quoting the CIN* Wrong minor code *Challan Identification Number Contains TAN + AMOUNT + DATE OF DEPOSIT + BSR CODE + CHALLAN SR. NO.
Wrong PAN of deductee One of the Major problem resulting in demand is wrong PAN of the deductee. It is advisable to always have copy of PAN card of the deductee. You may verify PAN from NSDL web side in case of doubt. Neither department nor NSDL can suggest any PAN for wrong PAN entered as credit has to go to the correct deductee.
Combined payment 194J / 194C in a single challan There had been cases where a combined payments of TDS under section 194C and 194J has been made in a single challan. Please ensure correct date entry i.e. correct code 194C or 194J etc are mentioned, in TDS statements. If the data entry is correct in TDS statements, wrong section code in the challan has no relevance.

How to issue certificate where there is no PAN. One of question which is asked very often by deductors is how to issue certificate to the deductee wherein TDS is deducted at higher rate and deductee has NO PAN. Usually such persons are Non Resident. They want certificate to enable them to claim credit of such TDS in their returns of the income in their respective country. In such case, you may issue a certificate in declaration form To whom so it may concerned. System will not issue TDS certificate where there is no PAN.
Person with NO PAN but TDS at lower rate as per DTA how handle?. There may a case wherein a person mainly Non Resident having no PAN and claims TDS to be made at lower rate as per DTA. Since there is no PAN, TDS is required to be done at higher rate. How to handle such cases? In all such case, please request such person to obtain PAN, otherwise TDS has to be made at higher rate.
Defaults which can be removed by AO only PAN correction beyond 2 digits though PAN will be updated in system, but the demand on account of short deduction can be removed by respective Assessing Officer only Invalid PAN subsequently corrected though PAN gets updated in the system, very often corresponding demand on account short deduction does not. Such demand can be corrected by Assessing Officer
Defaults which can be removed by AO only In case of especially Banks / branches where the salary is not centralized, if an employee get transferred from one branch to other branch, very often short deduction is worked out by the system in respect of Form 24Q filed for 1st or 2nd or 3rd quarter. In all such cases, please approach the Assessing Officer at TDS section who will remove the demand after verifying the details.
Defaults to be removed by AO only. There is short deduction in respect of tax calculation on salary of Senior Citizen. This is software related problem. Please approach respective Assessing Officer who can remove such defects.
Prosecution notices Wherever there is delay of more than 12 months in making payment of TDS of more than Rs 1 lacs, prosecution u/s 276B have been initiated. However if the assessee can establish that it deducted TDS only after 12 months and paid immediately say within 2 to 3 days, the prosecution u/s 276B may not lie. It has to be established with documentary evidences.
Form 26AS Please make a point to view Form 26AS periodically (once in every quarter) to see whether it got all the credits and to observe whether there is any UNWANTED credit. If any unwanted credit is appearing, please take a immediate step to bring to the notice of department. Please do not ignore any unwanted credit appearing in 26AS.
