Paying the charges for TDS default - pursuant to intimation u/s. 200A of the Income tax Act

[Manish Pasad]

Dear Members

have recd input from one member forwarded for your references

Just spoke to the their call centre. Have got the following feedback:

 

• Use ITNS 281 (the one we normally use for paying tds)
• Choose any of the options 'Company Deductees' or 'Non-company Deductees'
• Choose the correct 'Assessment year' in the online ITNS 281 ... their intimation u/s. 200A gives only the financial year (and not the assessment year)
• For nature of payment, choose any one which is applicable to you
• For type of payment, choose 400 (TDS/TCS Regular Assessment (Raised by I.T. Deptt.)
• After making the payment, send the following documents (soft copy) by mail to cont...@tdscpc.gov.in:

• Challan pdf
• Scanned copy of their intimation
• Justification report - I argued why they need this, as in some cases, there is an evident default (e.g. late filing of return) and the charges per day match with the delay and hence we may not download the justification report ... to which, the person said, then this need not be given)

• We may quote the TAN and the communication reference number in the mail and request them to update their records for the payment made
