For payments to non-residents, the deductor's TDS obligation under Section 195 arises only if the sum is "chargeable under the provisions of this Act" — GE India Technology Centre v. CIT [2010] 327 ITR 456 (SC) holds that mere payment is not sufficient; chargeability under Sections 5/9 read with DTAA must exist. Common defences: (i) pure reimbursement, (ii) software licence not royalty post Engineering Analysis (SC 2021), (iii) FTS not satisfying "make available" test in DTAA Article 12/13, (iv) business profits without PE under DTAA Article 7. If chargeability fails, Section 201/40(a)(i) cannot be sustained.

Statutory hooks that bite here — Selaiyur businesses operate where Selaiyur 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 (1A) of Section 201 prescribes simple interest at one per cent for every month or part of a month from the date on which such tax was deductible to the date on which it is deducted, and at one and one-half per cent for every month or part of a month from the date on which it was deducted to the date on which it is actually paid. It is to be noted that the second proviso truncates the one per cent leg up to the date on which the deductee furnishes the return under Section 139, where the first proviso to sub-section (1) is invoked through Form 26A. Sub-section (1A) is mandatory and not subject to assessing officer discretion.
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 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.

Selaiyur is a south Chennai residential and education pocket anchored by St Joseph's College of Engineering and the Tambaram Cantonment. Every Selaiyur engagement we open begins with the basics: PIN 600073, the Tambaram Division, and the coordinates 12.9181, 80.1444 that anchor the locality.
Working in Selaiyur brings a logistical edge: proximity to St Joseph's College of Engineering and the Selaiyur Bus Stop corridor keeps physical document handling fast.

File a reply to the show-cause invoking Section 273B reasonable-cause defence with documentary support; if penalty is levied, appeal under Section 246A(1)(q) before CIT(A) (NFAC); further appeal to ITAT Chennai bench; engage a Chennai TDS-specialist lawyer for higher courts.
FilingPro Chennai charges fixed fees by complexity tier — Section 200A intimation rectification from ₹4,500; Section 201 reply from ₹18,000; Section 271C/271H penalty defence from ₹25,000; appellate work before CIT(A) (NFAC) and ITAT priced per stage. Contact Mannady office for engagement.
Generally no — the standard route is Section 154 rectification before CPC-TDS followed by Section 246A appeal before CIT(A) (NFAC). Madras HC entertains writs only where jurisdictional defects (limitation, absence of authority) or breach of natural justice are apparent on the face of the record.
Address Section 156 demand notices first (recovery risk), then Section 271C/271H/276B penalty/prosecution notices (mens-rea defence record), then Section 201 show-cause (substantive merits), then Section 200A rectifications (processing-level). File Form 26A in parallel to neutralise primary liability.
A Section 200A intimation is the automated processing communication issued by CPC-TDS after processing your TDS statement. It validates arithmetic, matches challans, computes Section 234E late-filing fee and Section 201(1A) interest, and surfaces short-payment or mismatch demands.
Section 200A is a computer-processed summary intimation issued by CPC-TDS after statement processing. Section 201 is a quasi-judicial order issued by the jurisdictional AO (TDS) treating the deductor as an assessee-in-default after a show-cause and hearing under natural-justice principles.
What Selaiyur clients want to know before signing: Where Selaiyur differs: in the residential education pocket micro-market of Selaiyur. 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 Selaiyur, 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 — Selaiyur businesses operate where in the residential education pocket micro-market of Selaiyur, and Selaiyur 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).

Terms you will hear in this area — Selaiyur businesses operate where with most filings in this catchment being personal income-tax returns under ITR-1 to ITR-3 and one-off TDS reconciliations.
Online Correction Category C-3 on TRACES is the PAN Correction category used to amend deductee PAN entries in a filed TDS statement without re-uploading the entire return. It is the workhorse correction for Section 206AA short-deduction defaults caused by structurally invalid PAN or inoperative PAN-Aadhaar status.
Default Rectification Request or DRR is raised on TRACES against an erroneous default flagged by CPC-TDS where the underlying statement is already correct — typically challan-paid-but-not-visible due to BIN mismatch, OLTAS sync delay, or system computation errors. Unlike Online Correction, no fresh statement is filed; only the default tag is rectified.
Form 26A Annexure-A is the Chartered Accountant certificate filed online through TRACES under Rule 31ACB read with the first proviso to Section 201(1) certifying that the resident payee has filed his Section 139 return, taken the receipt into account and paid the tax. It wipes out principal short-deduction default but Section 201(1A)(i) interest survives.
Section 201(1A)(i) Interest is the one per cent per month interest charged from the date tax was deductible to the date it was actually deducted, payable by a deductor who has failed to deduct TDS. It survives even after Form 26A relief and runs until the deductee's return-filing date per the proviso to the sub-section.
Section 201(1A)(ii) Interest is the one-and-a-half per cent per month interest charged from the date of deduction to the date of deposit, payable by a deductor who deducted TDS but failed to deposit it on time. It is not relieved by Form 26A since the deductor has admitted holding government money and remains payable in full.
Section 234E Late-Filing Fee is the levy of two hundred rupees per day for every day the TDS statement is filed after the Section 200(3) due date, capped at the TDS amount. Section 200A(1)(c) authorising the 234E adjustment through Section 200A intimation was inserted only w.e.f. 01-Jun-2015 by Finance Act 2015 — pre-amendment levies are quashable on Fatehraj Singhvi.
Section 271H Penalty is the ten-thousand-to-one-lakh-rupee penalty for failure to file a TDS statement or for filing an incorrect statement. Section 271H(3) gives full immunity where the deductor deposits the TDS, applicable interest and Section 234E fee, and files the statement, within one year of the due date.
Section 276B Prosecution is the criminal prosecution provision for failure to pay deducted TDS to the credit of the Central Government — imprisonment from three months to seven years with fine. Compounding is available under CBDT Guidelines dated 17-Oct-2024 on payment of admitted tax, interest, fee and compounding fee at two per cent per month on the principal TDS for the default period.
Section 206AA is the higher-rate deduction provision triggered when the payee does not furnish PAN, or furnishes a structurally invalid PAN, or has an inoperative PAN-Aadhaar status. TDS is deducted at the higher of the rate in force, the rate specified in the relevant section, or twenty per cent. It overrides DTAA rates per Bosch (Bangalore ITAT 2018) line.
Section 206AB Compliance Check is the higher-rate deduction at twice the applicable rate or five per cent (whichever is higher) on payments to specified persons who have not filed ITR for the prior assessment year and have aggregate TDS or TCS of fifty thousand rupees or more. Compliance Check facility on the income-tax portal lets the deductor verify status before each payment.
PAN-Aadhaar Inoperative Status arises where the PAN holder has failed to link Aadhaar by the deadline prescribed in CBDT Circular 3 of 2023. An inoperative PAN is treated as if PAN has not been furnished, triggering Section 206AA twenty per cent. Linking after the deadline cures the status only prospectively per CBDT Circular 6 of 2024.
BIN or Book Identification Number is the seven-digit number generated for government deductors who pay TDS through book adjustment rather than challan. It is reported in Form 24G by the Accounts Officer and quoted in the Form 24Q / 26Q deductor entry. BIN mismatches between Form 24G and the TDS statement are a common Default Rectification Request scenario.
