Don’t worry it is not another form which is filed by you on the other side you should be thankfull for Income Tax Department because now you can verify your TDS deducted by deducter whether it is deposited or not.It is the obligation by department in formal words we can say it is the ledger of department in which they create your account with debit or credit balance. Income Tax Department has all record mention in your account statement with its ledger. (download 26AS)
Example
1) A Deduct TDS of B for rs. 1000. A will deposit Rs.1000 in Bank then Bank will upload the data.(At this step an online ledger is maintained).
2) After deposit the tax A will file TDS return in which A mention B’s PAN and tax deposit detail i.e. Sr.No.of Challan. BSR code of Branch.
3) Now B file his income tax return on which they claim as refund for Rs. 1000 which was deducted by A.
Now question is how income tax department will check that A has deducted TDS and same was deposit in Bank. (because now income tax return is annexure less. No. form 16 or 16A will be attached).
So Income tax authority will cross check the amount of Rs.1000 with Bank upload Data and TDS return filed By A.
If Amount is matched then Income Tax Department will issued the refund immediately. If not then Department will withheld the refund or issue notice for supporting document for claimed refund. So be careful to save all documents i.e Original TDS Certificates, Original Income Tax Return.
