Credit of TDS to be allowed for non – mismatch of TDS also.



S.204 : Deduction at source-Person responsible for paying-Bar against direct demand on assessee- Upon issue of Form 16A TDS certificate, TDS credit has to be given to the payee even if there is Form 26AS mismatch or deductor is at fault for non-deposit of TDS with Govt. [S.205, 221, Form 26AS, 16A]

U/s 204, the liability to deduct TDS is on the employer / payer. U/s 205, when tax is deductible at source, the assessee shall not be called upon to pay tax himself to the extent to which tax has been deducted from that income. This means that the assessee / deductee is entitled to credit of such amount of TDS. Even if the deductor, after deducting the TDS, does not deposit the sum with the department, the department has to recover the said amount from the deductor and cannot deny credit to the deductee (Om Prakas Gattani( 2000) 242 ITR 638 (Gau) & Yashpal Sahni ( 2007) 293 ITR 539 (Bom) followed)[SCA No 2349 of 2014 dt 23-06-2014)(AY.2010-11)
