Companies can soon access TDS returns online

July 15th, 2010

Companies will soon be able to view the Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) returns filed by them online, and make any changes if required. They can correct any clerical errors such as quoting a wrong TAN or PAN number.

Mr Ravi Aggarwal, Directorate-General of Income-tax (Systems), said here on Saturday that from next week, the assesses can access their TDS returns online on the NSDL Web site.

Companies will have to register with NSDL to access their returns.

The users will be asked two or three random questions, based on the TDS returns, to confirm their identity.

After this, they will be able to download the most recent TDS return, Mr Aggarwal said.

If there are any corrections, the company can make the changes, he added. Mr Aggarwal was speaking on the sidelines of a workshop on TDS organised by the Indian Merchants’ Chamber.

Welcome move

For employees too, it is a welcome step as they can now approach their employers if they find any mistake in the detailed tax credits or the PAN number; changes can then be made.

Employees are sometimes denied the credit for taxes paid on the pretext that the Form 16A has not been properly filled up or the date of payment of taxes has not been mentioned.

The employees also face problems getting tax credits if the employer enters the wrong PAN number in the TDS certificate.

And since employers file the TDS returns with banks, tax payers also lose out on tax credit if banks make a mistake while quoting the PAN number or entering any transaction details.

Mr S.S.N Moorthy, Chairman, Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), said that almost 37 per cent of the direct tax collections in India comes from the TDS route.

‘Sensitise employees’

He emphasised the need to sensitise company employees dealing with TDS, to avoid mistakes and confusion.

Direct tax collection at Rs 3,78,350 cr in FY’10: CBDT member

May 15th, 2010

The direct tax collection for 2009-10 is Rs 3,78,350 crore as against the revised target of Rs 3.8 lakh crore.

Speaking at the inaugural function of an Assocham conference on TDS, CBDT member Durgesh Shankar said the all-India direct tax collections have gone up from Rs 3,38,212 crore in 2008-09 to Rs 3,78,350 crore in 2009-10, registering a growth of 11.8 per cent.

The share of TDS (Tax Deduction at Source) has not grown commensurately with the rise in direct tax collection in 2009-10, he said.

The growth in TDS collection has dipped to 36.91 per cent from the earlier 38.49 per cent.

The actual TDS collection has touched Rs 1,39,529 crore from Rs 1,30,172 crore, he said, adding that Bangalore has out-performed many other regions across the country in this regard.

Stating that there is considerable potential for enhanced TDS collection, Shankar said that the government is bringing about a paradigm shift in the functioning of the I-T Department through e-filing, introduction of a tax information network and greater interaction with tax payers.

Manual processing of I-T returns is being phased out gradually and e-filing of corporate returns has been made mandatory, he added.

It is encouraging to see taxpayers taking the e-filing route, Shankar said, adding that central processing centres are being set up at different locations to ensure speedy tax refund.
