I would like to what will be the consequence in case of short deduction of Tax. For e.g. On Expenditure of Rs.100 TDS should have been deducted @10% and accordingly TDS amount will come to Rs.10 but in our case we have deducted TDS of only Rs.5 I would like to know whether the whole amount will be disallowed or only part of the amount on which TDS is not deducted.
If we consider the above example the amount on which TDS is not deducted is Rs.50. What will be the disallowance amount Rs.100 or Rs.50

The section 49 (ai)prescibes that the the amounts on which tax is dedutible and such tax has not bee deducted, the sum will be disallowed. The use of word such tax means that entire tax deductible should have been deducted. In case of part deduction, following this interepretation the entire amount will be disallwed as such tax as deductible has not been deducted.
