No. Form 26A only relieves the deductor from being treated as "assessee in default" for the principal tax. Interest under Section 201(1A)(i) at 1% per month from the date the tax was deductible up to the date the deductee filed his return of income is still payable by the deductor. The interest cannot be recovered from the deductee. This was confirmed in Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (SC) and reaffirmed by ITAT in numerous benches.

Statutory hooks that bite here — In Nolambur Phase 2, Nolambur Phase 2 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; 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 (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).
View sourceClause (ia) of Section 40(a) provides that thirty per cent of any sum payable to a resident on which tax is deductible under Chapter XVII-B and such tax has not been deducted, or after deduction has not been paid on or before the due date specified in Section 139(1), shall not be deducted in computing the income chargeable under the head Profits and Gains of Business or Profession. The first proviso permits a deduction in the subsequent year in which the tax is actually paid. The second proviso, inserted by the Finance Act 2012, extends the Section 201(1) first-proviso relief to disallowance, where Form 26A is on record.
View sourceSub-section (3) of Section 200 requires every person deducting tax to deliver, within the prescribed time after the end of each quarter, a quarterly statement to the prescribed authority in the form and manner prescribed by Rule 31A. It is to be noted that Forms 24Q, 26Q, 27Q and 27EQ correspond, respectively, to salaries, non-salary domestic payments, payments to non-residents and tax collection at source. The seven-day grace beyond the thirty-first day of the month following the quarter, made available for the fourth-quarter Form 24Q, has been progressively curtailed by successive amendments to Rule 31A.

Section 234E late-filing fee at ₹200 per day applies, capped at the TDS amount. Where delay exceeds one year or particulars are inaccurate, Section 271H penalty of ₹10,000 to ₹1,00,000 may also be levied. Section 273B reasonable-cause defence is available.
The second proviso to Section 271H exempts penalty where (i) TDS has been deposited within the prescribed time, (ii) Section 234E late-filing fee has been paid, and (iii) the statement is filed before one year from the original due date. All three conditions must be met cumulatively.
File appeal under Section 246A within 30 days; simultaneously file Section 220(6) stay application before the AO citing the CBDT 20 per cent pre-deposit benchmark. Pay 20 per cent within the stay-application window and pursue appeal on merits before CIT(A) (NFAC).
Yes. File Section 220(6) stay application before the AO citing the CBDT Office Memorandum dated 29 Feb 2016 (modified 31 July 2017) prescribing 20 per cent pre-deposit. CIT(A) and ITAT also have stay powers under Asahi India Safety Glass and Section 254(2A) respectively.
Section 201(1A)(i) levies interest at 1 per cent per month from the date of credit/payment to the date of deduction for non-deduction; Section 201(1A)(ii) levies 1.5 per cent per month from the date of deduction to the date of deposit for non-payment after deduction.
No. Section 271C requires separate proceedings with show-cause. Section 273B provides a complete reasonable-cause defence — bona fide reliance on opinion, vendor's Form 26A, or genuine difference of interpretation negates penalty. The Madras HC has consistently treated Section 271C as not strict-liability.
What Nolambur Phase 2 clients want to know before signing: Where Nolambur Phase 2 differs: on the Nolambur-Nolambur Phase 1 corridor that passes through Nolambur Phase 2. We see with most filings in this catchment being personal income-tax returns under ITR-1 to ITR-3 and one-off TDS reconciliations.
Localised for Nolambur Phase 2, 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 — In Nolambur Phase 2, around the Nolambur Phase 2 Park catchment of Nolambur Phase 2; Nolambur Phase 2 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 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.
TDS communications received by Chennai deductors broadly fall into five categories distinguishable by their statutory anchor. First, Section 200A(1) intimations are issued by the Centralised Processing Cell-TDS at Vaishali Ghaziabad on prima-facie defaults identified during return-processing. Second, Section 201(1) default orders are issued by jurisdictional Assessing Officer (TDS) on substantive non-deduction or short-deduction post-enquiry. Third, Section 234E demand notices arise from late-filing fee at ₹200 per day of delay. Fourth, Section 271H penalty notices follow non-filing exceeding one year or false-particulars. Fifth, Section 220 recovery and Section 221 penalty notices follow non-payment beyond 30 days. Each category invokes a distinct response framework, distinct limitation period and distinct appellate route — conflating them is the single most common defence error observed in the Madras ITAT TDS-Bench rulings since 2018.
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).
Section 271H is distinct from two adjacent penalty / prosecution provisions. Section 271C imposes a penalty equal to the amount of tax that ought to have been deducted on failure to deduct — operating on non-deduction itself, whereas 271H operates on non-filing-of-statement or false-particulars. Section 276B is the prosecution provision for failure to pay TDS deducted to the credit of Central Government, attracting rigorous imprisonment of three months to seven years. Section 278AA provides a defence to 276B where reasonable cause is shown. The Madras HC in Madhumilan Syntex Ltd applied a strict reading on 276B prosecution where deduction-and-non-deposit was established.
Sub-section (1) of Section 271H provides for a penalty of not less than ₹10,000 and not more than ₹1,00,000 where a person fails to deliver the quarterly statement within the prescribed time or where the statement furnished contains false particulars in respect of tax deduction, payment, deductee details or any matter relevant to determination of total income of the deductee. The penalty is imposable by the Assessing Officer (TDS) after recording satisfaction and issuing a show-cause notice. The provision is wider than Section 234E in two respects — it covers false-particulars (not merely delay) and the upper-cap is materially higher.
Sub-section (3) of Section 271H provides a safe-harbour — penalty shall not be levied where the deductor proves that — clause (a) the tax deducted along with interest has been paid to the credit of Central Government, and clause (b) the statement has been delivered before the expiry of one year from the time prescribed for delivery. The safe-harbour operates on a cumulative basis — both conditions must be satisfied. The Mumbai ITAT in Saroj Singh ruled that even one-day delay beyond the one-year limit takes the deductor outside the safe-harbour and the penalty becomes leviable, subject only to Section 273B reasonable-cause defence.
Sub-section (6) of Section 220 provides that where an assessee has presented an appeal under Section 246A, the Assessing Officer may in his discretion, and subject to such conditions as he may think fit, treat the assessee as not being in default in respect of the amount in dispute, even though the time for payment has expired, until the appeal is disposed of. The discretion under 220(6) is independent of the Instruction 1914 framework — it is a statutory grant. The Supreme Court in KEC International v B.R. Balakrishnan held that the AO's discretion under 220(6) is to be exercised judiciously. A standalone 220(6) application filed alongside the Section 246A appeal is the procedurally correct route.
Section 221 empowers the Assessing Officer to impose a penalty not exceeding the amount of tax in arrears for default in payment of tax under Section 220. The proviso to Section 221(1) requires the AO to give a hearing before imposition. Sub-section (1) second proviso allows waiver of penalty where the assessee proves that the default was for good and sufficient reasons — typically a pending appeal, bona-fide stay application, business-cash-flow distress with bank confirmations, or genuine inability arising from non-receipt of refunds due to the assessee. The Madras HC in Tamil Nadu Mercantile Bank set out the threshold for good-and-sufficient-reasons defence under 221.
Sub-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. Sub-section (2) provides that on default the assessee shall be liable to pay simple interest at 1% per month on the amount remaining unpaid. The 30-day clock starts on service of the demand notice, not on the date of the underlying order. Sub-section (3) empowers the Assessing Officer, on application before expiry of 30 days, to extend the period or allow payment in instalments — a power frequently underused by Chennai deductors.
The first proviso to Section 40(a)(ia) permits deduction of the disallowed expenditure in the subsequent year in which the TDS is actually paid. The second proviso, inserted by Finance Act 2012 with effect from 01-Apr-2013, provides that where the deductee has paid tax under Section 201 first proviso (i.e. through Form 26A) the deductor is not deemed to be in assessee-in-default and consequently the 40(a)(ia) disallowance does not attach. The Mumbai ITAT in JDS Apparels and Delhi ITAT in Ansal Land Mark held that Form 26A acceptance simultaneously defeats both 201(1) principal and 40(a)(ia) disallowance.
The Calcutta HC in CIT v S.K. Tekriwal ruled that Section 40(a)(ia) operates only on non-deduction or non-deposit, and not on short-deduction by rate. The reasoning is that the words used in 40(a)(ia) are tax 'is deductible' and 'has not been deducted' — when tax has been deducted at a lower rate, the deduction is incomplete but not absent. The Calcutta HC view was followed by the Karnataka HC in CIT v Three Star Granites and the Madras HC in CIT v PVS Memorial Hospital. The contrary view was taken by the Kerala HC in PVS Memorial Hospital (at trial-court level, since reversed). The Supreme Court has not authoritatively resolved the divergence.
Section 40(a)(i) on non-resident payments carries a steeper disallowance — 100% of the expenditure — and the relief framework is correspondingly narrower. The first proviso to Section 40(a)(i) permits deduction in the subsequent year on actual payment of TDS. The second proviso analogous to 40(a)(ia) covers Form 26A relief but the make-available test for chargeability and the DTAA-rate-cap analysis become central. The Supreme Court in GE India Technology Centre held that Section 195 obligation is triggered only where the payment is chargeable to tax in India under Sections 4, 5 and 9 — non-chargeability defeats both 195 and consequential 40(a)(i).

Section 271H Penalty is the discretionary penalty leviable on a person who fails to file the quarterly statement under Section 200(3) within the prescribed time, or who furnishes incorrect information in the statement. The penalty ranges from ten thousand rupees to one lakh rupees. Sub-section (3) furnishes a one-year immunity window.
Section 271C Penalty is the penalty equal to the amount of tax not deducted, leviable on a person who fails to deduct the whole or any part of the tax as required by Chapter XVII-B. The Supreme Court has held in US Technologies (2023) that the provision does not extend to delayed payment of tax already deducted.
Section 234E Fee is the fee of two hundred rupees per day, capped at the amount of tax deductible, leviable for delay in furnishing a quarterly statement under Section 200(3). The fee is automatically computed in the Section 200A intimation by virtue of clause (c) of sub-section (1), inserted with effect from the first day of June 2015.
Section 273B Reasonable Cause is the general defence available to a deductor against penalties under Sections 271C, 271CA, 271H and other listed provisions, where the person proves that there was reasonable cause for the failure. Reasonable cause is a question of fact and includes bona fide misinterpretation, illness, system failures and force majeure.
Section 220 Recovery Window is the thirty-day period prescribed under sub-section (1) of Section 220 for payment of a sum specified in a notice of demand under Section 156. Expiry of the window triggers interest at one per cent per month under sub-section (2) and renders the assessee in default for the purpose of recovery proceedings.
Section 220(2) Interest is the simple interest of one per cent for every month or part of a month from the day immediately following the end of the thirty-day Section 220(1) window. The interest runs independently of, and in addition to, Section 201(1A) interest already computed up to the date of the underlying intimation or order.
Section 220(6) Stay is the discretionary administrative stay grantable by the Assessing Officer to treat an assessee as not in default during the pendency of a first appeal under Section 246A. The Central Board of Direct Taxes ordinarily requires twenty per cent of the disputed demand as pre-deposit under Instruction 1914 and the 2017 Office Memorandum.
Section 201(1) First Proviso is the relief provision inserted with effect from the first day of July 2012, under which a deductor shall not be deemed to be an assessee in default if the deductee has filed return, included the receipt in computation of total income and paid the tax due. Relief is invoked through Form 26A under Rule 31ACB.
Section 40(a)(ia) Disallowance is the disallowance of thirty per cent of any sum paid or payable to a resident on which tax was deductible under Chapter XVII-B and has not been deducted, or deducted but not deposited within the Section 139(1) due date. Allowed in the year of subsequent payment under the first proviso.
Section 40(a)(ia) Second Proviso, inserted by the Finance Act 2012, extends the Form 26A mechanism of the first proviso to Section 201(1) into the disallowance arena — where the deductor is not deemed in default for the deductee's substantive compliance, the corresponding thirty per cent expense disallowance also stands negatived.
Section 40(a)(i) Disallowance is the full disallowance of interest, royalty, fees for technical services or other sums payable to a non-resident on which tax under Chapter XVII-B has not been deducted or deposited. Unlike clause (ia), the disallowance is one hundred per cent of the expense, although deduction is permitted in the year of subsequent payment.
Section 195 Liability is the obligation cast on any person responsible for paying to a non-resident, not being a company, or to a foreign company, any interest or other sum chargeable to tax under the Act, to deduct income-tax thereon at the rates in force at the time of credit or payment. Section 195(2) furnishes the application route for nil or lower deduction.
