Dear Members,
Please reply with reference to statutory provisions and judicial pronouncement.
Whether a deductor can be treated as an assessee in default u/s 201 for delay in remittance of TDS? In this case, the amount which remain to be paid is interest only.
If the answer to above is in affirmative, whether the deductor can be subjected to penal provisions u/s 221(1)?
Whether the case law, "Shreeniwas And Sons Versus Income-Tax Officer, 'B' Ward, Asansol, And Others.[1974] 96 ITR 562, will come to the rescue of the deductor?
