Correction in Error of Original TDS Statement Defaults

This change was incorporated in processing of TDS Statements, in view of feedbacks received from deductors, to avoid defaults that may arise due to inadvertent data entry errors.


The central point in the new process is identifying errors in challan/ PANs and facilitating their corrections before CPC (TDS) computes defaults in TDS statements. Following are the salient features of Intermediate

Communication

Step 2: Short Payments and PAN Errors will be identified in the preliminary check of the Original statements.
Step 3: The statements will be placed "On Hold" for further processing and an opportunity will be provided to correct potential defaults of Short Payment and PAN Error
