Bangalore CPC. However, if the return is filed without using digital signature, then the
assessee shall send the signed copy of ITR V to CPC, Bangalore at the following

FAQ No. 5) and download excel utility (available only for ITR 1, 2, 3 and 4s) or java
utility from the aforementioned website;
(c) Fill the income-tax return in the excel utility or java utility and generate XML file. Java
utility has an option to pre-fill the information on basis of PAN card or previous year's
return and submit return directly (without generating XML file) but for that one has to
create his account at income-tax e-filing portal;
(d) Use the following link to create your account: https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/e-
Filing/ Registration/ RegistrationHome.html;
(e) After creation of account, you need to login and then click on "submit return" option;

(g) Click on Browse option to select the generated XML file and upload it;
(h) Java utility gives an option to submit return directly, i.e., without generating XML file.
Thus, taxpayers who are required to file return in ITR 4, 5, or 7 or those taxpayers who

"Income Tax Department - CPC, Post Bag No - 1, Electronic City Post Office, Bangalore -
560100, Karnataka" within 120 days of uploading the return either by ordinary post or
speed post only.
If ITR-V is not submitted within stipulated period of 120 days, then it will be deemed that
assessee has not filed the return of income.
The assessees who are required to file the ITR-1 may alternatively fill and file their return
online without downloading the excel or java utility after login at the
incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in.
If assessee is using digital signature ("DSC") for uploading the return, it is to be registered
on the website beforehand. If return is filed through DSC, assessee would not be required to
send the print-out of the acknowledgement to CPC.
Q 10. What if I have forgotten the login details of

Q 11. If the last date to file income-tax return is a public holiday, whether the
next day would be treated as "last date of filing"?
Normally, income-tax department continues its operation during the last days of filing of
income-tax return even if the last days eventually fall on Sundays or on holidays. However,
if department is closed on the last due date, then the immediately next working day of the
department would be considered as the last date of filing of income-tax return.
Q 12. How can I find my jurisdictional Assessing Officer?
Either click on Services>Know your Jurisdiction given on the home page of
incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in or use the following link
https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/e-Filing/Services/KnowYourJurisdictionLink.html to
know your jurisdictional officer.
Q 13. How to know TAN of my deductor?
It can be found either on the Form 16/16A or in the 26AS tax credit statement available on
https://www.tdscpc.gov.in/app/login.xhtml TRACES (TDS Reconciliation and Correction
Enabling System) website.
Q 14. How would I know whether my e-return has been processed at CPC
Bangalore?
Log on to the e-filing website and select CPC processing status to check the status of return.
Q 15. I am the authorized signatory of the firm. While filing the return of
income I get an error that 'PAN mentioned in Verification section is invalid'.
In case of return of income of firm/company/AOP/BOI/Artificial judicial person/Co-
operative society/trust, etc., PAN of authorized signatory is required to be filled in
verification field instead of the assessee's PAN.
Q 16. I had e-filed my return and had identified some mistake which seems to
be a 'mistake apparent from record'. Can I make rectification with CPC in
paper form?
No, the CPC doesn't accept any of the manual correspondence. You have to login to
incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in and have to file rectification request using web portal.
Q 17. What to do in case of TDS mismatch?
Even if the credit for TDS as claimed in the return matches with the balance as appearing in
the Form 26AS, Assessing Officer may raise a demand for payment of differential amount
due to TDS mismatch. The reason for such difference could be as under:
(1) TAN of deductor was wrongly mentioned
(2) Name of deductor was not spelt out correctly
(3) Tax deducted by one deductor was wrongly included in the amount of tax deducted by
another deductor
In case of such TDS mismatch, an assessee can file a rectification request.
Steps to file the rectification request:
(a) Login to your account in https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in
(b) Go to My Account > Rectification request
(c) You need the following to fill in the required details:
(i) PAN
(ii) Assessment Year
(iii) Latest Communication Reference Number (it starts with CPC/Assessment
Year/)
(iv) Latest CPC Order date
(d) Click on Validate to go to next step
(e) On the next screen, choose 'Taxpayer is correcting data for Tax Credit Mismatch Only'
from the drop-down box of 'Rectification Request Type'
(f) Check from the following relevant boxes for which item taxpayer is seeking
rectification:
(i) TDS on salary income details
(ii) TDS on other than salary income details
(g) Fill in all the relevant details including details of tax deducted and reported in the
return of income filed earlier
(h) Click on the button 'Submit' to submit the rectification request.
The TDS mismatch may also be due to error in TDS return filed by deductor. In such a
situation, you should intimate the deductor about such error and require him to rectify the
TDS return.
In press note no. 402/92/2006, dated April 17, 2014 CBDT had noted that many taxpayers
commit mistakes while furnishing details of tax credit in the return of income. Such
mistakes include:
(a) Invalid/incorrect TAN of deductor;
(b) Furnishing same TAN for more than one deductor;
(c) Filing information in wrong TDS Schedules in the Return Form;
(d) Furnishing wrong challan particulars in respect of Advance tax, Self-assessment tax,
etc.
Consequently, the tax credit could not be allowed to the taxpayers while processing returns
despite the tax credit being available in Form 26AS statement. The CBDT, therefore, directs
the taxpayers to verify if the demand raised on them is due to tax credit mismatch on
account of such incorrect particulars and submit rectification requests with correct
particulars of TDS/tax claims for correction of these demands. The rectification requests
have to be submitted to the jurisdictional Assessing Officer in case the return was processed
by such officer, or the taxpayer is informed by CPC, Bangalore that such rectification is to be
carried out by Jurisdictional Assessing Officer. In all other cases of processing by CPC,
Bangalore, an online rectification request can be made (as defined above).
Q 18. I have filed my return electronically and furnished the signed copy of
acknowledgment to the CPC. However, I have received a letter from CPC that
said copy of acknowledgement had not been received. Since time-limit to
resend the acknowledgement already expired, whether it will be deemed that I
have not filed the return?
The same issue has been dealt with by Bombay High Court in the case of Crawford Bayley
& Co. v.Union of India [2011] 16 taxmann.com 323 (Bom.), wherein the Court, despite
expiry of the time-limit to send the acknowledgment, allowed additional time to assessee to
resend the same, since the assessee had furnished adequate material before the Court in
support of its contention that having filed return electronically, it had also submitted ITR-V
Form by ordinary post.
Based on the above, it can be inferred if you have already submitted the ITR-V to the CPC
then you can resend the acknowledgement, even though the time-limit for filing ITR-V has
already expired, provided you have sufficient evidences to substantiate the fact that you
have send the acknowledgment earlier within 120 days of uploading the return either by
ordinary post or by speed post only.
Q 19. Can I file the return even if the due date to file the same has expired?
Yes, you can file return of income belatedly within a period of one year from the end of
relevant assessment year or before the completion of assessment, whichever is earlier.
Q 20. What are the consequences of filing belated return?
If return is filed after the end of relevant assessment year, in that case penalty of five
thousand rupees can be levied under section 271F.
If the return of income is not filed within the due date specified under section 139(1), loss
incurred during the year under the heads 'Profits and gains of business and professions' and
'Capital gains' cannot be carried forward to next year.
Q 21. Can I file return of income even if my income is below taxable limits?
Yes, you can file return of income voluntarily even if your income is less than the maximum
exemption limit.
Q 22. I have filed my return of income; however, I omitted to claim benefit of
Section 80C deduction. What should I do?
The benefit of omitted claim can be availed only by filing a revised return. But in that case
you have to ensure that your original return has been filed within the due date as return can
be revised only if it has been filed originally within the specified due date (Refer FAQ 6). An
income-tax return can be revised within one year from the end of the relevant assessment
year or before completion of assessment, whichever is earlier.
Q 23. I am a salaried person. My total taxable salary is Rs. 5,40,000 on which
tax has been duly deducted under Sec. 192 amounting to Rs. 39,140. During
finalization of return, I found that my bank has given me a credit of Rs.
1,24,500 towards interest. Please guide me what should I do now?
In this situation, you have to pay the balance taxes on the interest income (or any other
income) before filing of return. As per revised computation, your total tax liability would be
Rs. 64,787. Since tax of Rs. 39,140 has already been deducted under Sec. 192, the balance
tax of Rs. 25,647 should be paid along with interest under Section 234B and 234C. The tax
and interest can be paid in any authorized bank through Challan No. ITNS 280.
Alternatively, it can be paid through online bank portal through following link
https://onlineservices.tin.nsdl.com/etaxnew/tdsnontds.jsp.
Q 24. What documents are needed to be enclosed along with the return of
income?
Income-tax returns are annexure less. Hence, there is no need to enclose any document(s)
along with the return of income. Thus, documents like TDS certificate, balance sheet, Profit
& Loss A/c, Capital A/c, proof of investments, etc., are not to be attached along with the
return of income. However, these documents should be retained and have to be produced
before the Assessing Officer whenever he requires us to do so.
Q 25. My employer has deducted tax without allowing me relief of section 89.
Can I claim the relief while filing the return of income?
If the employer fails to provide relief under section 89 and deducts excess tax, then you can
claim such relief in your return of income and can claim refund of excess tax deducted.
Q 26. How to claim deduction on donation given to an organization registered
under section 80G?
Deduction under section 80G can be claimed by filing the return of income in which the
following details need to be given:
(a) Name of donee;
(b) PAN of donee;
(c) Address of donee; and
(d) Amount of donation.
Q 27. How to avoid deduction of tax, if during the year the accrued interest on
deposit in my saving account is Rs. 15,000 and my total income including such
interest income is below taxable limit?
You can file a self-declaration to the banker in Form 15H (in case of Senior Citizen) or Form
15G (in case of assessees below 60 yrs. of age) stating that your income is below taxable
limit.
Q 28. Whether salaried persons are not required to file return of income for
assessment year 2014-15?
Exemption from filing return of income isn't available for salaried persons for Assessment
Year 2014-15, as exemption from filing of return of income for salaried persons was allowed
under Notification No. 9/2012 only in respect of the Assessment Year 2012-13. Similar
notification for Assessment Years 2013-14 and 2014-15 has not been issued. Therefore,
every assessee earning income of more than basic exemption limit shall file the return of
income.
Q 29. Whether all salaried taxpayers can choose ITR-1 for filing income-tax
returns?
No, all salaried taxpayers can't choose ITR-1 for filing tax returns from Assessment Year
2013-14 onwards. They can choose ITR-1 only if they are claiming exemption under sec. 10
(e.g. HRA, Conveyance allowance, etc.) up to Rs 5,000 or less. So, if taxpayer is claiming any
exemption under sec. 10 which exceeds Rs. 5,000, he cannot file return of income in ITR-1
(As per amended Rule 12 of income-tax rules).
Q 30. I omitted to submit rent receipt and investment proof to my employer
because of which relief for HRA and certain other deductions weren't given to
me; the tax deducted from my salary income is higher than my actual tax
liability. How to claim refund of such excess tax?
Even if the benefit of HRA under Section 10(13A) and deduction under Chapter VI-A are not
considered by the employer in Form 16, yet they can be claimed in the income-tax return.
Accordingly, the excess tax deducted by employer can be claimed as refund.
Q 31. Can I claim deduction under section 80C of interest on housing loan?
Repayment of principal portion of residential housing loan will be allowed as deduction
under section 80C within the overall limit of Rs. 1,00,000. However, such deduction is
available if housing loan is borrowed by assessee from:
(a) Central Government or any State Governments
(b) Banks, including a co-operative banks
(c) LIC
(d) National Housing Bank
(e) Domestic Public company providing long-term finance for construction or purchase of
houses in India
(f) Assessee's employer, being an authority or a board or a corporation or any other body
established or constituted under Central or State Act
(g) Assessee's employer being, a public company or a public sector company or a university or
a university established by law or a college affiliated to such university or a local authority
or a co-operative society.
However, interest on housing loan is deductible under section 24(b) while computing
income chargeable to tax under the head "Income from house property".
Q 32. How to claim benefit of tax deducted in advance on income which is
taxable in subsequent years?
Certain provisions of TDS (including TCS) require deduction of tax at source at the time of
payment or at the time of credit, whichever occurs earlier. Advance payments are also
subjected to TDS. Old ITR form did not have any mechanism to carry forward the excess
TDS, thus, taxpayers were required to show the entire TDS as a deduction and claim refund
of excess TDS. To overcome the issues, the Schedule TDS/TCS in the ITR forms introduced
two new columns:
(a) Unclaimed TDS/TCS brought forward
(i) Financial Year in which deducted/collected
(ii) Amount brought forward
(b) TDS/TCS being claimed this year from amount brought forward or from TDS/TCS of
current financial year.
Thus, the portion of TDS credit pertaining to income taxable in the subsequent year can be
carried forward to subsequent year and can be claimed in the year in which income is
offered to tax.
Q 33. What will be the consequences if return of income is filed without making
payment of self-assessment tax?
To discourage the practice of filing of return of income without payment of self-assessment
tax, the Finance Act, 2013 has amended Explanation to section 139(9) so as to provide that
the return of income shall be deemed as defective return if tax including interest thereon, if
any, payable in accordance with the provisions of the Act has not been paid on or before the
date of furnishing of the return.
Q 34. Whether is it mandatory to furnish PAN of the landlord to claim
exemption in respect of house rent allowance ?
If employee is claiming exemptions for house rent allowance and the annual rent paid by
him exceeds Rs. 1,00,000, it is mandatory for him to report PAN of the landlord to the
employer. In case the landlord does not have a PAN, a declaration to this effect from the
landlord along with the name and address of the landlord should be filed by the employee.
Q 35. Who is required to file audit report electronically?
Following persons are required to get their accounts audited and file the audit report
electronically:
(a) A person carrying on business, if his turnover exceeds Rs. 1 crore
(b) A person carrying on profession, if his gross receipt exceeds Rs. 25 lakh
(c) A person eligible to compute taxable income on presumptive basis but does not opt to

(b) Choose the appropriate ITR form suitable for your status and source of income (Refer FAQ No. 5) and download excel utility (available only for ITR 1, 2, 3 and 4s) or java utility from the aforementioned website; (c) Fill the income-tax return in the excel utility or java utility and generate XML file. Java utility has an option to pre-fill the information on basis of PAN card or previous year's return and submit return directly (without generating XML file) but for that one has to create his account at income-tax e-filing portal; (d) Use the following link to create your account: https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/e- Filing/ Registration/ RegistrationHome.html; (e) After creation of account, you need to login and then click on "submit return" option; (f) Select the 'assessment year' and 'form name', then click 'next'; (g) Click on Browse option to select the generated XML file and upload it; (h) Java utility gives an option to submit return directly, i.e., without generating XML file. Thus, taxpayers who are required to file return in ITR 4, 5, or 7 or those taxpayers who opt to file ITR 1, 2, 3, or 4S in Java utility shall not follow the instructions given above in point (e), (f) and (g). (i) On successful submission of ITR form, a pop-up menu will be displayed on the screen. Click on "Download" button to get the acknowledgement, i.e., ITR-V; The final step is to get the printout of such acknowledgement, get it signed and send it to "Income Tax Department - CPC, Post Bag No - 1, Electronic City Post Office, Bangalore - 560100, Karnataka" within 120 days of uploading the return either by ordinary post or speed post only. If ITR-V is not submitted within stipulated period of 120 days, then it will be deemed that assessee has not filed the return of income. The assessees who are required to file the ITR-1 may alternatively fill and file their return online without downloading the excel or java utility after login at the incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in. If assessee is using digital signature ("DSC") for uploading the return, it is to be registered on the website beforehand. If return is filed through DSC, assessee would not be required to send the print-out of the acknowledgement to CPC. Q 10. What if I have forgotten the login details of https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in? (a) Click on forget password or on the following link https://incometaxindiaefiling/gov.in/e-Filing/UserLogin/ LoginHome.html;
  • 9. (b) Enter your user ID (i.e., your PAN) and the captcha (i.e., the security random code) and click on continue; (c) In the password reset page, one of the following options can be selected: (i) Answer the secret question; (ii) Upload the digital signature certificate; or (iii) Enter e-filed acknowledgement number or bank account number as furnished in return of income. (d) Enter new password twice and click on 'Reset Password' to generate new password; (e) If you are unable to retrieve your password, send an email request from registered email-id, to validate@incometaxindia.gov.in with following details: (i) PAN: (ii) Name of the assessee as appearing on the PAN card; (iii) Date of Birth/Date of incorporation; (iv) Name of father as appearing on the PAN card; (v) Registered PAN Address; New password will be communicated to you by the income-tax department via email. Q 11. If the last date to file income-tax return is a public holiday, whether the next day would be treated as "last date of filing"? Normally, income-tax department continues its operation during the last days of filing of income-tax return even if the last days eventually fall on Sundays or on holidays. However, if department is closed on the last due date, then the immediately next working day of the department would be considered as the last date of filing of income-tax return. Q 12. How can I find my jurisdictional Assessing Officer? Either click on Services>Know your Jurisdiction given on the home page of incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in or use the following link https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/e-Filing/Services/KnowYourJurisdictionLink.html to know your jurisdictional officer. Q 13. How to know TAN of my deductor? It can be found either on the Form 16/16A or in the 26AS tax credit statement available on https://www.tdscpc.gov.in/app/login.xhtml TRACES (TDS Reconciliation and Correction Enabling System) website.
  • 10. Q 14. How would I know whether my e-return has been processed at CPC Bangalore? Log on to the e-filing website and select CPC processing status to check the status of return. Q 15. I am the authorized signatory of the firm. While filing the return of income I get an error that 'PAN mentioned in Verification section is invalid'. In case of return of income of firm/company/AOP/BOI/Artificial judicial person/Co- operative society/trust, etc., PAN of authorized signatory is required to be filled in verification field instead of the assessee's PAN. Q 16. I had e-filed my return and had identified some mistake which seems to be a 'mistake apparent from record'. Can I make rectification with CPC in paper form? No, the CPC doesn't accept any of the manual correspondence. You have to login to incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in and have to file rectification request using web portal. Q 17. What to do in case of TDS mismatch? Even if the credit for TDS as claimed in the return matches with the balance as appearing in the Form 26AS, Assessing Officer may raise a demand for payment of differential amount due to TDS mismatch. The reason for such difference could be as under: (1) TAN of deductor was wrongly mentioned (2) Name of deductor was not spelt out correctly (3) Tax deducted by one deductor was wrongly included in the amount of tax deducted by another deductor In case of such TDS mismatch, an assessee can file a rectification request. Steps to file the rectification request: (a) Login to your account in https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in (b) Go to My Account > Rectification request (c) You need the following to fill in the required details: (i) PAN (ii) Assessment Year (iii) Latest Communication Reference Number (it starts with CPC/Assessment Year/)
  • 11. (iv) Latest CPC Order date (d) Click on Validate to go to next step (e) On the next screen, choose 'Taxpayer is correcting data for Tax Credit Mismatch Only' from the drop-down box of 'Rectification Request Type' (f) Check from the following relevant boxes for which item taxpayer is seeking rectification: (i) TDS on salary income details (ii) TDS on other than salary income details
  • 12. (g) Fill in all the relevant details including details of tax deducted and reported in the return of income filed earlier (h) Click on the button 'Submit' to submit the rectification request. The TDS mismatch may also be due to error in TDS return filed by deductor. In such a situation, you should intimate the deductor about such error and require him to rectify the TDS return. In press note no. 402/92/2006, dated April 17, 2014 CBDT had noted that many taxpayers commit mistakes while furnishing details of tax credit in the return of income. Such mistakes include: (a) Invalid/incorrect TAN of deductor; (b) Furnishing same TAN for more than one deductor; (c) Filing information in wrong TDS Schedules in the Return Form; (d) Furnishing wrong challan particulars in respect of Advance tax, Self-assessment tax, etc. Consequently, the tax credit could not be allowed to the taxpayers while processing returns despite the tax credit being available in Form 26AS statement. The CBDT, therefore, directs the taxpayers to verify if the demand raised on them is due to tax credit mismatch on account of such incorrect particulars and submit rectification requests with correct particulars of TDS/tax claims for correction of these demands. The rectification requests have to be submitted to the jurisdictional Assessing Officer in case the return was processed by such officer, or the taxpayer is informed by CPC, Bangalore that such rectification is to be carried out by Jurisdictional Assessing Officer. In all other cases of processing by CPC, Bangalore, an online rectification request can be made (as defined above). Q 18. I have filed my return electronically and furnished the signed copy of acknowledgment to the CPC. However, I have received a letter from CPC that said copy of acknowledgement had not been received. Since time-limit to resend the acknowledgement already expired, whether it will be deemed that I have not filed the return? The same issue has been dealt with by Bombay High Court in the case of Crawford Bayley & Co. v.Union of India [2011] 16 taxmann.com 323 (Bom.), wherein the Court, despite expiry of the time-limit to send the acknowledgment, allowed additional time to assessee to resend the same, since the assessee had furnished adequate material before the Court in support of its contention that having filed return electronically, it had also submitted ITR-V Form by ordinary post. Based on the above, it can be inferred if you have already submitted the ITR-V to the CPC then you can resend the acknowledgement, even though the time-limit for filing ITR-V has
  • 13. already expired, provided you have sufficient evidences to substantiate the fact that you have send the acknowledgment earlier within 120 days of uploading the return either by ordinary post or by speed post only. Q 19. Can I file the return even if the due date to file the same has expired? Yes, you can file return of income belatedly within a period of one year from the end of relevant assessment year or before the completion of assessment, whichever is earlier. Q 20. What are the consequences of filing belated return? If return is filed after the end of relevant assessment year, in that case penalty of five thousand rupees can be levied under section 271F. If the return of income is not filed within the due date specified under section 139(1), loss incurred during the year under the heads 'Profits and gains of business and professions' and 'Capital gains' cannot be carried forward to next year. Q 21. Can I file return of income even if my income is below taxable limits? Yes, you can file return of income voluntarily even if your income is less than the maximum exemption limit. Q 22. I have filed my return of income; however, I omitted to claim benefit of Section 80C deduction. What should I do? The benefit of omitted claim can be availed only by filing a revised return. But in that case you have to ensure that your original return has been filed within the due date as return can be revised only if it has been filed originally within the specified due date (Refer FAQ 6). An income-tax return can be revised within one year from the end of the relevant assessment year or before completion of assessment, whichever is earlier. Q 23. I am a salaried person. My total taxable salary is Rs. 5,40,000 on which tax has been duly deducted under Sec. 192 amounting to Rs. 39,140. During finalization of return, I found that my bank has given me a credit of Rs. 1,24,500 towards interest. Please guide me what should I do now? In this situation, you have to pay the balance taxes on the interest income (or any other income) before filing of return. As per revised computation, your total tax liability would be Rs. 64,787. Since tax of Rs. 39,140 has already been deducted under Sec. 192, the balance tax of Rs. 25,647 should be paid along with interest under Section 234B and 234C. The tax and interest can be paid in any authorized bank through Challan No. ITNS 280. Alternatively, it can be paid through online bank portal through following link https://onlineservices.tin.nsdl.com/etaxnew/tdsnontds.jsp.
  • 14. Q 24. What documents are needed to be enclosed along with the return of income? Income-tax returns are annexure less. Hence, there is no need to enclose any document(s) along with the return of income. Thus, documents like TDS certificate, balance sheet, Profit & Loss A/c, Capital A/c, proof of investments, etc., are not to be attached along with the return of income. However, these documents should be retained and have to be produced before the Assessing Officer whenever he requires us to do so. Q 25. My employer has deducted tax without allowing me relief of section 89. Can I claim the relief while filing the return of income? If the employer fails to provide relief under section 89 and deducts excess tax, then you can claim such relief in your return of income and can claim refund of excess tax deducted. Q 26. How to claim deduction on donation given to an organization registered under section 80G? Deduction under section 80G can be claimed by filing the return of income in which the following details need to be given: (a) Name of donee; (b) PAN of donee; (c) Address of donee; and (d) Amount of donation. Q 27. How to avoid deduction of tax, if during the year the accrued interest on deposit in my saving account is Rs. 15,000 and my total income including such interest income is below taxable limit? You can file a self-declaration to the banker in Form 15H (in case of Senior Citizen) or Form 15G (in case of assessees below 60 yrs. of age) stating that your income is below taxable limit. Q 28. Whether salaried persons are not required to file return of income for assessment year 2014-15? Exemption from filing return of income isn't available for salaried persons for Assessment Year 2014-15, as exemption from filing of return of income for salaried persons was allowed under Notification No. 9/2012 only in respect of the Assessment Year 2012-13.

How to claim benefit of tax deducted in advance on income which is taxable in subsequent years? Certain provisions of TDS (including TCS) require deduction of tax at source at the time of payment or at the time of credit, whichever occurs earlier. Advance payments are also subjected to TDS. Old ITR form did not have any mechanism to carry forward the excess TDS, thus, taxpayers were required to show the entire TDS as a deduction and claim refund of excess TDS. To overcome the issues, the Schedule TDS/TCS in the ITR forms introduced two new columns: (a) Unclaimed TDS/TCS brought forward (i) Financial Year in which deducted/collected (ii) Amount brought forward (b) TDS/TCS being claimed this year from amount brought forward or from TDS/TCS of current financial year. Thus, the portion of TDS credit pertaining to income taxable in the subsequent year can be carried forward to subsequent year and can be claimed in the year in which income is offered to tax. Q 33. What will be the consequences if return of income is filed without making payment of self-assessment tax?
