CIT v. Eli Lilly & Co (India) (P) Ltd [2009] 312 ITR 225 (SC) held that the obligation under Section 192 to deduct TDS on salary applies to the entire salary — including the home-country salary paid by the foreign parent to expatriates — once it is taxable in India under Section 9(1)(ii). However, the Court ruled that penalty under Section 271C is not leviable where the assessee acted on bona fide belief that the home-country salary was not taxable. This is the cornerstone of Section 273B reasonable-cause jurisprudence in TDS.

Statutory hooks that bite here — Mogappair West businesses operate where Mogappair West businesses in the residential arm find that professional services from this area mostly fall under Section 194J 194C TDS on freelancers and personal-IT filings under ITR-1 to ITR-3, and with most filings in this catchment being personal income-tax returns under ITR-1 to ITR-3 and one-off TDS reconciliations.
Sub-section (1) of Section 200 of the Income-tax Act 1961 casts an obligation upon every person deducting any sum in accordance with the provisions of Chapter XVII-B to pay the sum so deducted to the credit of the Central Government, within the prescribed time and in the prescribed mode. It is to be noted that the obligation is fastened on the deductor in his capacity as an agent of the revenue, and the deposit is a precondition for the deductee being entitled to the corresponding credit. Sub-rule (1) of Rule 30 prescribes seven days from the end of the month of deduction, except for March deductions where the cut-off is the thirtieth day of April.
View sourceSub-section (1) of Section 201 provides that where a person who is required to deduct tax fails to deduct, or, having deducted, fails to pay the whole or any part of the tax to the credit of the Central Government, he shall be deemed to be an assessee in default in respect of such tax. The first proviso, inserted with effect from the first day of July 2012, carves out a relief — the deductor shall not be deemed in default if the deductee has furnished a return under Section 139, has taken the receipt into the computation of total income and paid the tax due, and the deductor furnishes a certificate in Form 26A from an accountant.
View sourceSection 271H provides that without prejudice to the provisions of the Act, the Assessing Officer may direct that a person who fails to deliver a statement within the time prescribed in Section 200(3), or who furnishes incorrect information in such statement, shall pay, by way of penalty, a sum which shall not be less than ten thousand rupees but which may extend to one lakh rupees. Sub-section (3) carves out an immunity where the tax, interest and fee have been paid and the statement has been delivered before the expiry of one year from the time prescribed for delivery. It is to be noted that the immunity is statutory and not discretionary.
View sourceSub-section (1) of Section 220 provides that any amount specified as payable in a notice of demand under Section 156 shall be paid within thirty days of the service of the notice at the place and to the person mentioned in the notice. The Assessing Officer may, with the previous approval of the Joint Commissioner, reduce this period to less than thirty days where it is detrimental to revenue to allow the full period. It is to be noted that an intimation under Section 200A is itself deemed to be a notice of demand under Section 156 by virtue of sub-section (1A) of that section.
View sourceSection 271C provides that any person who fails to deduct the whole or any part of the tax as required by Chapter XVII-B, or who fails to pay the whole or any part of the tax as required by sub-section (2) of Section 115-O or the second proviso to Section 194B, shall be liable, by way of penalty, to a sum equal to the amount of tax which he failed to deduct or pay. Section 273B furnishes a complete answer where the assessee proves reasonable cause for the failure. It is to be noted that the Supreme Court in US Technologies International v. CIT (2023) has held that Section 271C does not extend to mere delay in payment of tax already deducted.
View sourceSub-section (6) of Section 220 empowers the Assessing Officer, in his discretion, to treat the assessee as not being in default in respect of the amount in dispute, on such conditions as he thinks fit to impose, where an appeal under Section 246A is pending. It is to be noted that the Central Board of Direct Taxes has, through Instruction 1914 dated the second day of December 1993 read with the Office Memorandum dated the thirty-first day of July 2017, prescribed a twenty per cent pre-deposit norm as the ordinary condition. The discretion is reviewable by the Principal Commissioner under sub-section (6A).

Generally no. The deductor is entitled to act on the certificate as it stood on the deduction date. Retrospective cancellation, even if validly made by the AO, operates only prospectively for the deductor's compliance per Madras HC and Delhi HC rulings.
Section 201(1A)(ii) interest at 1.5 per cent per month, Section 276B prosecution exposure (3 months to 7 years rigorous imprisonment), and personal director liability under Section 278B. Compounding under Section 279(2) per CBDT 17 Oct 2024 Guidelines is the standard mitigation route.
Log in to TRACES, navigate to 'Statements/Payments — Request for Correction', select the statement type and quarter, download the consolidated file, edit in the TDS-CPC utility, sign with DSC, upload corrected file. Allow 7-10 days for processing.
Section 234E fee at ₹200 per day of delay is capped at the total TDS amount of the relevant statement. The cap operates per statement (per Form 24Q/26Q/27Q) and per quarter; thus the per-statement maximum equals the statement's underlying TDS sum.
Yes, where the levy adjudicates more than mere arithmetic (e.g. interest computation under Section 201(1A) is also included), appeal lies under Section 246A(1)(a) before CIT(A) (NFAC) within 30 days. Pure Section 234E levies are largely settled and not amenable to appeal.
The Supreme Court in Goetze (India) v CIT held that fresh claims cannot be made before the AO except by a revised return. In TDS replies, this means deductee tax-credit corrections must flow through correction statements, not by mere AO submissions.

Localised for Mogappair West, Chennai — with most filings in this catchment being personal income-tax returns under ITR-1 to ITR-3 and one-off TDS reconciliations.
Reading this guide locally — Mogappair West businesses operate where in the residential commercial mix micro-market of Mogappair West, and Mogappair West businesses in the residential arm find that professional services from this area mostly fall under Section 194J 194C TDS on freelancers and personal-IT filings under ITR-1 to ITR-3.
The TDS Reconciliation Analysis and Correction Enabling System (TRACES) is the operational interface through which CPC-TDS communicates with deductors. Sub-rule (2) of Rule 31A of the Income Tax Rules 1962 provides that every default identified during processing is recorded on TRACES with a downloadable Justification Report — a PDF and CSV deliverable that lists row-wise the challan, deductee PAN, section, deduction-amount, default-head and amount-in-default. The Justification Report carries indicative computations only; the binding figures are those in the Section 200A intimation and the consequential demand on the TRACES dashboard. The TRACES architecture follows the OECD Forum on Tax Administration's 2014 design template on digital-by-default tax-payer-services, mirrored in similar withholding-platforms in the United Kingdom (HMRC RTI) and Australia (ATO Single Touch Payroll).
The Indian TDS-default framework is more punitive than comparable OECD jurisdictions on the interest-rate and disallowance dimensions. Section 201(1A) charges interest at 1% per month on non-deduction and 1.5% per month on deduction-not-deposited — i.e. an effective annualised 12% and 18%. The OECD International VAT/GST Guidelines do not directly cover income-tax withholding, but the comparable HMRC PAYE-default interest in the United Kingdom is benchmarked against the Bank of England base rate plus 2.5 percentage points, currently in the 7-8% range. Australia's ATO general interest charge sits at 11.36%. The disallowance dimension is uniquely Indian — Section 40(a)(ia) disallows 30% of the expenditure (and 100% for non-resident payments under 40(a)(i)) in the deductor's own income, with no comparable provision in major OECD systems where withholding default is treated purely as a separate collection matter.
The Tax Deduction at Source mechanism in India under Chapter XVII-B of the Income Tax Act 1961 implements what the OECD framework calls a pay-as-you-earn collection design. It is to be noted that the policy goal traces to the Direct Taxes Enquiry Committee 1971 (Wanchoo Committee) recommendation that revenue collection be advanced to the point of accrual rather than the point of assessment, reducing tax arrears and broadening the information base. The Comptroller and Auditor General's 2017 performance audit on TDS administration observed that approximately 36% of direct-tax revenue is now collected at source, against an OECD-area average of roughly 60% for income subject to withholding. A TDS notice therefore performs a dual function — it is both a revenue-recovery instrument addressed to the deductor as the assessee-in-default under Section 201, and an information-correction instrument under Section 200A reconciling the deductor return with deductee credit claims in Form 26AS.
The boundary between an apparent mistake (rectifiable under Section 154) and a debatable question of law (not rectifiable) has generated extensive jurisprudence. The Supreme Court in CIT v Hero Cycles held that a question of law on which two views are reasonably possible is not a mistake apparent from the record. Conversely, where the order ignores a binding precedent of the jurisdictional High Court or the Supreme Court delivered prior to the order date, the omission is rectifiable. The Madras HC in CIT v Maxopp Investment applied this distinction in a TDS-default context where a subsequent ruling on Section 194-I sub-heads was sought to be retrospectively applied.
In TDS-default scenarios, Section 154 is invoked typically to correct — first, computational errors on interest under 201(1A) (wrong principal-base, wrong period-count, wrong rate-application), second, fee under 234E covering periods extended by CBDT notification, third, double-counting of the same default under two heads, fourth, credit for challans deposited but unmapped owing to clerical typo, fifth, ignoring a Form 26A acceptance that should have reduced the principal to NIL. The application is filed through the TRACES portal where the order originated from CPC-TDS, or before the Assessing Officer (TDS) where the order originated from jurisdictional officer.
Where the Section 154 application is rejected, the appellate route under Section 246A(1)(c) is available against the rectification order. The appeal can attack the underlying default order on merits as well as the rectification rejection. The Bombay HC in Indian Hume Pipe held that a rejection of 154 does not foreclose the underlying merits-challenge, and the Commissioner (Appeals) can entertain both. The procedural sequencing is — Section 200A intimation → Section 154 application → 154 order (acceptance / rejection) → Section 246A appeal to CIT(A) → Section 253 appeal to ITAT → Section 260A reference to HC. The limitation under 246A is 30 days from the order date.
Sub-section (1) of Section 246A enumerates the orders against which an appeal lies to the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) — for TDS purposes, clauses include order under Section 201 deeming a person to be an assessee-in-default, order imposing penalty under Sections 271, 271A, 271AA, 271B, 271BA, 271C, 271CA, 271D, 271E, 271FB, 271G, 271H, 272A, 272AA, and orders under Section 154 amending any of these. The Section 200A intimation, being a return-processing summary, is appealable under Section 246A(1)(a) treating it as an order under sub-section (1) of Section 143 to the extent of the prima-facie adjustment.
The appeal under Section 246A is filed in Form 35 electronically through the income-tax e-filing portal under Rule 45. The limitation is 30 days from the date of service of the order. Sub-section (5) of Section 249 empowers the Commissioner (Appeals) to admit a delayed appeal where sufficient cause is shown. The Supreme Court in Collector Land Acquisition v Mst Katiji established the liberal-construction principle — sufficient cause should be construed generously where the assessee was not careless. The appeal fee under Section 249(1) ranges from ₹250 (income up to ₹1 lakh) to ₹1,000 (above ₹2 lakh) and is paid through challan ITNS 280.
The Faceless Appeal Scheme 2020 notified under Section 250(6B) and 250(6C) reorganises the CIT(A) function across National Faceless Appeal Centre, Regional Faceless Appeal Centres and Appeal Units. Personal hearings are through video-conferencing on request. The Delhi HC in Lakshya Budhiraja and the Bombay HC in Eko Asia Hotels held that denial of video-hearing request is a denial of natural justice. The faceless scheme has been challenged on constitutional grounds in several writ petitions — the Madras HC in M/s Bridge & Roof Co (India) Ltd partially upheld the scheme but read down the personal-hearing requirement.
Sub-section (2A) of Section 254 (the operational provision for ITAT proceedings) empowers ITAT to grant a stay of demand for an initial period of 180 days extendable on cause shown. The Supreme Court in Pepsi Foods Ltd v Asst CIT (2021) struck down the third proviso to 254(2A) — which had limited the extension power to 365 days even where the delay was not attributable to the assessee — as arbitrary and violative of Article 14. The current position is that ITAT can extend stay beyond 365 days where the delay is not attributable to the assessee, restoring substantial justice. The stay order must record reasons under 254(2A) first proviso.
Sub-section (1) of Section 253 enumerates the orders against which an appeal lies to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal — these include orders of the CIT(A) under Section 250, orders of the Principal Commissioner or Commissioner under Section 263 (revision), and orders under Section 154 in certain situations. For TDS-default appeals, the CIT(A)'s order under Section 250 on a Section 201 / 234E / 271H appeal is appealable under 253(1)(a). The Department can file an appeal under 253(2) where the CIT(A) order is adverse to revenue. The cross-objection under 253(4) is available to the respondent within 30 days of receipt of memorandum.
The appeal to ITAT is filed in Form 36 prescribed under Rule 47 along with two paper-books containing the order appealed against, the grounds of appeal, the statement of facts and supporting documents. The limitation is 60 days from the date of service of the order under sub-section (3) of Section 253. The appeal fee under sub-section (6) ranges from ₹500 (income up to ₹1 lakh) to ₹10,000 (above ₹2 lakh) plus 1% of assessed-income capped at ₹10,000. Sub-section (5) empowers ITAT to admit a delayed appeal where sufficient cause is shown — Collector Land Acquisition v Mst Katiji applies.

TAN-PAN Linkage is the mapping between the deductor's Tax Deduction Account Number and Permanent Account Number maintained at NSDL. A correct linkage is required for Section 197 lower-deduction certificate applications, Section 195 Form 15CA / 15CB filings, and for the deductor's income-tax 26AS credit on TDS deducted from its own receipts.
Section 197 Lower-Deduction Certificate is the certificate issued by the AO TDS authorising the deductor to deduct TDS at a lower rate, or nil, on payments to a specific deductee, where the deductee has demonstrated that his projected income justifies a lower rate. Applied online in Form 13 through TRACES with twelve-month validity within the same FY.
Form 15CA is the deductor's declaration filed online on the income-tax portal before a foreign remittance, and Form 15CB is the accompanying Chartered Accountant certificate where the remittance exceeds five lakh rupees in the FY and is chargeable to tax. The pair operationalises Section 195 / Rule 37BB for non-resident TDS compliance.
Form 24Q Annexure II is the year-end salary detail annexure filed only with the Q4 24Q statement, containing employee-wise salary breakup, Section 10 exemptions, Section 16 standard deduction, Chapter VI-A deductions and tax computation. Errors in Annexure II are the most common Section 271H incorrect-statement triggers and require Online Correction Category C-5.
Section 220(6) Stay of Demand is the discretionary stay granted by the AO pending disposal of an appeal under Section 246A / 248 against an order raising the demand. CBDT Instruction 1914 (as amended) lays down the framework — typically twenty per cent pre-deposit; lower threshold available on prima-facie merits or financial hardship.
Tax Deducted at Source is the mechanism under Chapter XVII-B of the Income-tax Act 1961 whereby the payer of certain specified sums withholds tax at prescribed rates at the time of credit or payment, whichever is earlier, and deposits it to the credit of the Central Government on behalf of the recipient.
Deductor is the person required by Chapter XVII-B of the Income-tax Act to deduct tax at source at the time of credit or payment of specified sums. The deductor functions as an agent of the revenue and bears both the deposit obligation under Section 200(1) and the statement-filing obligation under Section 200(3).
Deductee is the person from whose income tax has been deducted at source by the payer. The deductee is entitled to claim credit for the tax deducted against the eventual self-assessed liability under Section 199, provided the deduction is reflected in Form 26AS or the Annual Information Statement.
Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number is the ten-character alphanumeric account number allotted under Section 203A of the Income-tax Act to every person required to deduct or collect tax at source. The number must be quoted on all TDS challans, statements and certificates issued by the deductor.
