I have a couple of queries regarding form 16A for TDS. kindly respond. my queries are:
In the said form 16A under the heading
DETAILS OF PAYMENT , TAX DEDUCTION AND DEPOSIT OF TAX INTO CENTRAL GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT
the second column sub heading is “Amount paid/ Credited” and the third being “Date of Payment/ Credit”.
My 1st query is:
“DOES THE AMOUNT TO BE STATED IN THE SECOND COLUMN SUB HEADING REPRESENT THE NET PAYMENT AMOUNT AFTER SERVICE TAX AND TDS ADJUSTMENTS BOTH, OR ANY ONE OF THEM OR NEITHER OF THEM?”
My 2nd query is:
“WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENSES OF ERRONEOUS FILLING UP OF THESE TWO ABOVE MENTIONED COLUMN SUB HEADINGS.?”
An early response is hoped for. Kindly obliged by doing that.

I have received the compensation for my land and building which was acquired by National Highways Authority of India. TDS @ 10.3% was deducted against the amount. inspite of my repeated requests, they did not issue the Certificate. what can I do?
Kindly note that while issuing TDS Certificates by Banks its in a incomplete stage viz., details of PAN no.,Details in Interest Deduction & TDS applied,F/o signing authority not mentioned. They have simply mentioned Gross interest earning for the year & TDS applicable in single line. Is it OK. Will this be accepted.
Pls Make me clear diffeence between Form 16 and 16 A in simple language and in a very simple way because I am totally confused after reading the whole page about both the forms.
Pls Do it for my conveyance.
Dear Sir,
please clear whether we rectify the PAN number in form No.16., since it has been wrongly mentioned in the form.
