18 October 2012Dear all,
If notice received from Assessing Officer intimating the Non-Filing of TDS returns and penalty.
But, the A.O. is requested the deductors to file the tds returns within 15 days after receiving the such notice.
Query is if the deductor filed the tds returns within 15 days from the date of receiving the notice, whether Penalty have to pay or not?
