22 February 2014 As like in Kerala another writ petition filed in Karnataka also on 19th February. Read the following. In a big relief for several employers and businessmen, the Karnataka high court has stayed for four weeks the operation of series of demand notices sent by the Income Tax department asking them to pay penal fees in relation to non-filing of TDS statements.

Justice Jawad Rahim passed an interim order to this affect while asking Income Tax department and ministry of finance to file their replies.

Several employers as well as assessees under TAN have moved the court challenging the penal provisions under newly inserted section 234E of the Income Tax Act ,1961 connected to filing of TDS returns by employers. TIMES OF INDIA released the news.
