08 November 2020 Dear All,

One person was supposed to pay me Rs.6L and while paying he deducted some Rs.50k in the name of TDS. So while proceeding for Income TAX, as I checked on TRACES/TDS website he has falsely mentioned Rs.12L in Total Amount Paid Credited, which is wrong & double amount what he actually paid.

So what steps I can & should take against such person legally? This is absolutely fraud thing, because he must have shown wrongful cash transaction in my name. But to prove that I have written emails/agreement of that time.

Thanks

09 November 2020 Dear CA R SEETHARAMAN,

Thanks for your help. So I'll inform him to do the rectification & give warning of further steps. But incase if he denies, then how can I inform IT department about his act? Because I have to file my income taxes soon and this extra amount will come on me as taxable amount, if I'm not wrong wrong.

Looking forward for your suggestion.
