including whether profit from such contracts is covered under VDA taxation at 30% under Section 115BBH or should be treated as business income, and whether 1% TDS u/s 194S is applicable ? does the tax/TDS treatment differ when there is no actual delivery or transfer of the underlying VDA?

Other Perquisite-134142/-(284621-150479)
Interest Free or Concessional Loan Rs. 150479/- and show Exemption Under Section 10 (10CC)
Rs. 150479+18043=168522/-
Presuming that Value of Perquisite of IFCL (150479), Tax will be Borne by Employer (Bank).
ITR will be Process Successfully with No Tax Demand. In this whether Revised ITR will be filled by reducing Exemption only up to Rs.18043/- Please advise.

I have a short payment default of Rs 120 in TDS return and have already paid the differential challan . Now I want to tag/adjust this challan against the default on TRACES.

The new TRACES portal (under the Income-tax Act 2025) does not seem to have the challan correction/tagging option for this. And for FY 2026-27 onwards, this correction can no longer be done on the old TRACES portal either.

Has anyone faced this? What is the correct process now to adjust a new challan against a short payment default for FY 2026-27 on the new TRACES website? Any specific tab/menu I'm missing, or is this facility not yet live?
