Dear Sir, 

 

One of the persons has completed CA Inter and is currently working as an article trainee. His friend is conducting business in his name, such as a work contract. Now, ₹20,000 TDS has been deducted for the CA student, even though he is not actually involved in the business—his friend is doing it in his name.

Now, he is going to file his income tax return. Is there any issue for the CA student while doing articleship and having business conducted in his name (even though he is not personally involved)?

Could there be any problems from the CA firm regarding this?"
