Please tell us whether your client recorded transport expense in 2008-09?
If yes, then you have to deduct @ 2.27% + you have to pay Interest & penalty.
This will be become huge burden.
If your client recorded in this FY, the rate is 1% or 2% (as the case may be)
The Interest and Penalty provisions are clearly mentioned in the Act and we cant escape from them.
Your client will have less tax if the expenditure is recorded at actual time of payment i.e current FY

The conversion of proprietor ship into partnership does not relieve the assessee from the liability of paying interest & penalty and from complying other provisions of the ACT.
The only thing your client is supposed to do is reapply for TAN in the status of partnership and pay the TDS with penalty & interest which was liable from 2008-09.

is there any way or deduction? becoz this is tha mistak of both accountant and also CA.
this is done due to the careless of CA and Accountant.

I think there is no other way to escape. But advise your client to clear the dues to IT Department before they issue any show cause notice in this regard & make more difficult to you. They wont accept the reasons like default of Auditor etc...
