My client has received a notice from IT department for short deduction of TDS and have been asked to pay the TDS with interest.. Actually client has short deducted the TDS on salary paid to Directors, but, directors had paid the tax as self assessment tax at the time of filing ITR. Can you pls help me out with relevant CASE LAWS so that TDS and penalty can be saved as there is no loss of revenue to Govt. Thanking you

The ITAT Mumbai bench in Chattisgargh State Electricity Board vs. ITO(TDS)
Under the Explanation to s. 191, a person can be treated as an assessee in default u/s 201(1) only when, apart from the lapse in deduction of tax at source, the recipient of income has failed to pay such tax directly. S. 201(1) imposes vicarious (and not penal) liability on the payer to make good the shortfall in tax collection. If the tax liability is discharged by the recipient of income, the vicarious liability cannot be invoked.
