Assessee is a private limited company. Return of Income was filed declaring loss. TDS credit was claimed. Deductor has not deposited the TDS with the ITD. During the scrutiny proceedings the A O verified the party statements which shows that TDS has really been deducted. Deductor was also summoned for giving statement regarding the transactions with the assessee. However, while passing the order acceptance or otherwise of the TDS claim has not been mentioned by the A O. Whether, the A O is not duty bound to pass the order either to accept the TDS claim or reject the same while passing the assessment order; especially when the amount of TDS is substantial and the credit has been claimed in the RoI. Thanks in advance
