For FY 20-21 one of my friends has received IT Notice. When we checked he has got Net Taxable Income of Rs 255000 on which TDS has also been deducted for about Rs 2500.
When we try to file ITR(U) for the same, my question is as follows : -
1. Can the TDS Deducted of Rs 2500 be allowed to be set off against Penalty under Sec 234F of Rs 1000. System is not allowing us to do the same and we we checked online they say we have to mandatorily deposit additional tax under 140B so that will be additional tax deposit.
Kindly suggest what can be the possible solution without depositing additional tax under 140B as his Net Income is less than Rs 5 Lakhs.

You have to mandatory deposit of additional tax then only you can file updated return. Filing updated return with 1000 late fees will not considered as additional payment of tax. In your case no need to file updated return reply to the notice.
