been notified which requires, amongst other, the quoting of the relevant UTN for every TDS or TCS claim
made by the assessee. Therefore, the credit for any TDS or TCS claim will be allowed, amongst others, if
the assessee quotes the relevant UTN for every TDS and TCS claim and the said UTN matches with the

31 May 2009 No it is not mandatory, but if you want to get the credit of TDS/TCS you have to quote UTN. But till date, there is no system of getting the UTN from NSDL.
