02 March 2011 TDS has been deducted of a 73 years old Widow,who is homely lady and main source of income is FD intt. and intt. from Post office.But the overall income has no taxability.She has no PAN number and she hasn't filed any return till date.
My query is whether their is anyway to avoid TDS in the upcoming year and in the current year?Whether this year TDS can be claimed without filing Return or return has to be filed.
Somebody told me to fill Form 15H to avoid TDS implications but said it is mandatory to mention PAN on it.Is that so?Please reply.
