Hello Experts -
This is a question from a lay person regading the recently (CG-DL-E-15082026-275490) introduced FAST-DS 2026 scheme.
Here it mentions that any money (fee/penalty etc for disclosure) is non refundable, cant be set off etc.
Question:
For person declaring a bank a/c under this scheme, the requiement is 'Sum of all deposits'. A person who had this a/c a decade ago was informed by the foreign bank that the retention policy meant that the statements are only available after 2018.
The rules just ask for supporting documentation but theres no room for variation when reporting 'sum of all deposit' for bank account, an alternative was not provided in the rules. (though it was provided during a similar scheme in 2015) ie, Question 5. https://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/documents/d/guest/circular15_2015-pdf
Main part -
SInce there's no refund, no mention of a provision to answer queries that the dept might have about a declaration made by a person., the person has no alternative but to declare pay the amount and then hope it is approved (since there;s no mentioned of 'Best estimate' alternate for 'sum of all deposits' like the scheme in 2015)?
From the way it is framed (atleast to a lay person) it looks like there's no support or appeal mechanism, so after paying the dialog is closed and if it is rejected for whatever reason, the person filing wont know the reason and most importantly the money will be lost.
Can an expert or someone who is reasonably familiar with law-speak please reply if this is as rigid and recourseless as it appears to be.
Thanks in advance for your expertise
A Director want to reactivate his old DIN (not in use since a few years). The mobile and email are old which he has no access too. When I am filling the new KYC form for reactivation (alongwith change in mobile number and email ID) it asks for DSC on form. I have to create his user profile to register the DSC. To create Business User ID, again I will require OTP on email and mobile which he is not able to access. In this situation what should I do to reactivate his DIN? Please help
The original TDS return was successfully filed under Section 140 (Form 26Q) and was initially accepted by the Income Tax Portal.
However, upon checking the status on the TDS TRACES portal a few days later, I found that the return has been marked as "Rejected". To rectify the errors and submit a revised/correction return, I attempted to download the Consolidated (CONSO) File from the TRACES portal. Unfortunately, the portal is not allowing me to raise a request for the CONSO file due to the rejected status of the statement.
What will do pls guide on this.

Hello Members,
I seek your guidance regarding a TDS issue on property sale.
My total TDS liability was INR 9,695.
I paid INR 9,635 on 7th November 2025, which was within the due date.
The remaining balance of INR 60 was paid later on 3rd September 2026 through a fresh Form 26QB.
Despite this, the Income Tax Department (ITD) has issued a defaulter notice and imposed a significant penalty on the amount of INR 9,635, which I had already paid on time.
I need advice on:
How to draft a reply to ITD clarifying that INR 9,635 was paid within the due date? To whom I should address, what is the email id?
How to link both Form 26QBs (acknowledgement numbers) to demonstrate that the full liability of INR 9,695 has been discharged?
Any expert inputs or references to relevant provisions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Somenath Dhar

GOOD AFTERNOON SIR
As per the books Credit balance of GST is Rs 50 lacs but the ITC credit on GST portal is 20 lacs. It means an excess Credit as of Rs 30 lacs has been taken inadvertently which can be reversed in computation of income by deducting back to total income.
AM I RIGHT SIR
