Refund without Matching TDS Diff up to one lakh-ITR-1 To ITR-6

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Parthiv Mehta parthivtmehta@gmail.com

In order to speed up refunds, TDS claims in all tax returns (ITR-1 to
ITR-6) will be accepted without verification  if the difference
between the amount claimed in the return and the  amount reflected in
the TDS return (AS-26 statement)  does not exceed one lakh rupees.
This  will enable the Income Tax department clear nearly 95 percent
refunds without verifying each  TDS claim. Cases with zero-matching,
invalid TAN and difference exceeding Rs. 1 lakh will,  however, be
cleared only after due verification. This precaution is necessary to
avoid refund  frauds.

Earlier, the Chairman CBDT had directed all Chief Commissioners to
upload necessary data so that the refunds can be issued expeditiously.
It will be for the first time that most income tax refunds of the
current assessment year will be dispatched to the taxpayers within the
current  financial year itself.

This is very welcome step ,TDS return upload is a responsibility of
deductor and Deductee has to suffer because of the deductor's
mistakes. Now if a person has Claimed a TDS of "x" amount and in FORM
26As amount shown is "X-100000" then refund will be granted to him .
As stated in press release 95 % refunds   are covered under this
relaxation,and for other due verification will be done.
