Press Release
Subject: New
facility of pre-filling TDS data while submitting online rectification -reg.
Central Board of Direct Taxes has simplified the
process of online rectification of incorrect TDS details filed in the Income
Tax Return. Taxpayers were required to fill in complete details of the entire
TDS schedule while applying for rectification on the e-filing portal of the
Income-tax Department (www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in).
Errors due to incomplete TDS details in rectification applications were leading
to delays in processing of such applications thereby causing hardship to the
taxpayers.
To avoid this inconvenience, a new facility has been
provided for pre-filling of TDS schedule while submitting online rectification
request on the e-filing portal to facilitate easy correction or up-dating of
TDS details. This is expected to considerably ease the burden of compliance on
the taxpayers seeking rectification due to TDS mismatch.
