under the provisions of section 203 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 read with rule 31A, Certificate of tax deducted at source is to be furnished within fifteen (15) days from the due date for furnishing the statement of tax deducted at source.
Within 15 days time is for what ? For generation of Form 16A from TRACES or To forward certificates ?
Now My Query is After generation of TDS certificate from TRACES within due date,
1) Is it compulsory to forward hard copy of certificates to deductees ? 2) Or Can I forward All 4 quarters hard copy together ? 3) Or Can I forward soft copy as well ?
