I understand I did not post the question clearly.

the question is Universities / Research organisations like CSIR etc do not want TDS to be deducted on their deposits.

so to approach bank and ask not to deduct TDS should these organisations necessarily approach Income Tax Dept. and obtain the exemption certificates .(obtained in that year.)

OR use commonsense that the organisations who are not assessable under income tax act, can't lose TDS on their deposits.

for ready reference I am posting circular 4/2002. (as per that it is not required) But...

Circular : No. 4/2002, dated 16-7-2002.

". Whether prescribed self-declaration under section 197A can be submitted by entities whose income is

exempt under section 10

1. Subsequent to the amendment to section 197A made by the Finance Act, 2002 whereby a new sub-section

(1B) has been inserted with effect from 1st June, 2002, representations have been received seeking clarification

whether the prescribed self-declaration under the said section can be submitted by entities exempt from tax

under section 10 even if the payments referred to in sub-section (1A) to be made to them exceed the threshold

limit not subject to tax.

2. This matter has been examined by the Board. It has been decided that in case of those funds or authorities or

Boards or bodies, by whatever name called, whose income is unconditionally exempt under section 10 of the

Income-tax Act and who are statutorily not required to file return of income as per section 139 of the Incometax

Act, there would be no requirement for tax deduction at source since their income is anyway exempt under

the Income-tax Act. The institutions whose income is unconditionally exempt under section 10 and who are

statutorily not required to file return of income as per the provisions of section 139 are :

(i) “local authority”, as referred to in the Explanation to clause (20);
