1. Pl check the applicability of proviso (turnover criteria) to section 194A(1) to the proprietor.
2. If applicable,the proprietor may try to convince the department with documentary evidence to the effect that the payee company has paid income tax on the interest and hence the short deducted amount if now recovered from the proprietor will lead to double taxation.

18 February 2011 No sections. However, there are few case laws on identical situations in relation to "income from salary".

18 February 2011 You may try by not depositing balance TDS and opt to face penalty proceedings u/s 271C where you may get relief on the ground of ground realities and reasonableness.
