Short deduction of tds.

one of my client has paid salary to it's employees but has not deducted sufficient TDS which has resulted for short deduction of TDS after filing of TDS return.

the employees have paid their self assessment tax while filing their
respective ITR after considering above TDS deducted from salary.
now there is demand outstanding for short deduction of TDS in tds.cpc portal of employer.

how can we nullify the outstanding demand by saying that the employees have paid their respective taxes?

Quick Summary
An employer has a short deduction of TDS on salaries paid to employees, resulting in an outstanding demand on the CPC portal. Although employees have already paid their self-assessment tax via their ITR, the employer is responsible for the TDS deduction. The solution involves filing a TDS correction statement to add the missing taxes, potentially paying the demand with interest, and then recovering the amount from employees who can claim a refund via a revised return. Online correction can be filed through TRACES or the IT website.

Yes
that can be done
You may have to file Tds correction statement by adding taxes..

You may have to pay tds demand since it is Employer responsibility to deduct the tax .

Pay Tds with interest and recover from employees and let the employees claim refund through revised return
OBTAIN THE SHORT DEDUCTION AMOUNT PAID BY THE EMPLOYEES. FORWARD THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AFTER DEPOSITION OF SHORT PAYMENT TO INCOME TAX AUTHORITY.
Is there any way of doing it through Tds.cpc site.
I am not able to do it through the site.
You can file online correction from traces or Tds correction statement from IT website/ TIN Centre
