25 December 2017 Sir/Madam

My client's tds is deducted by a govt office for AY 2010-11. The same is also reflecting in his 26AS with status "P" i.e. provisional. However, the AO is not giving the credit of the same saying that they can only give credit in case the status will be converted to "F" i.e. final.

My client approached accounts dept. of govt office who deducted his tax. And account dept informed him that they are not able to file Form 24G for AY 2010-11. Form 24G can be filed only electronically and the website for filing 24G can only accept such forms from AY 2011-12 onwards.

The same has resulted in non availability of credit to my client. Can anyone guide me about how to get it done so that my client gets required credit of his tax deducted?

Kindly reply to this on urgent basis. Awaiting favorable reply...

26 December 2017 There are ample amount of judgments in such cases going in favour of the assessee.
There is even an internal memorandum issued to the officers to not to raise demand in such cases.
As per S.205, where tax is deductible at the source under the foregoing provisions of this Chapter, the assessee shall not be called upon to pay the tax himself to the extent to which tax has been deducted from that income.

You may file a grievance and if that does not help, try online appeal. I am 100% sure, you will win (assuming the given info is true and complete)
