Hi Experts, Can you please clarify me the current status of circular no 4/2002 which states that no TDS deduction is required to be made for the CERTAIN SPECIFIED assessees who are EXEMPT FROM FILING OF RETURN.
As of now every university/college/hospital is required to mandatorily file the return of Income by virtue of section 139.
So, Please clarify my doubt regarding validity/current status of circular 4/2002.

Filing of Return is necessary to claim the exemption available on income. It does not mean that those, who are filing income tax return should always have taxable income. . For TDS Non-Deduction circular referred in the query has yet not been withdrawn and as such can be said to be still in effect. .

Thanks sir, But can u please let me know that In case of Hospitals/Schools/Collages whose income is exempt u/s 10, there is no need to deduct TDS.

To avail the exemption of CBDT Circular 4/2002 two conditions are to be satisfied viz.,
i)income is unconditionally exempt
ii)and there is no requirement of filing return u/s 139.
Moreover certain entities specified in the circular are only entitled ,for the benefit of the said circular, which does not cover hospitals/colleges/schools.
