Postal Deposits Complaints - Senior Citzen Account non Deposit of TDS recovered at source

Senior Citzen Account non Deposit of TDS recovered at source

My name is Maj Gen Vinod Anand( PAN NoABWPA 4637Q). I have a senior citizen account at Sector 19 Post Office at NOIDA.

I was given Form 16 A for the TDS recovered at source for Fin year 2009-10,( AY 2010-11) by the Post Office. Since this did not get reflected in Form 26 AS, income tax department has raised an observation that the TDS declared by me in th I.T return is not matching with the TDS deposited.

It has come to light that the TDS which was recovered did not get reflected in Form 26AS because the post ofice does not have an on line facility and the staff was not aware of the procedure of depositing TDS through the TIN centre service provided by the I.T authorities.

I am now required to deposit the additional income tax due from me as a fallout of the post office not depositing the TDS recovered from me within the next 20 days as per notice served to me under Section143(1).

I have repeatedly requested the post office staff to deposit the TDS recovered from me so that Form 26AS can be rectified but they are neither concerned nor bothered to take action in the matter. Consequently for no fault of mine I am being made to run from pillar to post.

The TDS recovered by the Post Office during FY 2010-11 has also not been deposited and has not been reflected in Form 26AS for that year.

I am also given to understand that a large number of such observations have been raised by the I.T authorities due to this reason.

This lack of coordination between the I.T dept and post offices is leading to avoidable increase of infructuous work in both the departments and a lot of harrasment to individual tax payers for no fault of theirs.

I request that this may please be addressed urgently so that computerisation and a lack of coordination does not lead to avoidable harassment of tax payers
