I am writing to urgently bring to your attention some critical issues I encountered while utilizing the RPU for Quarterly Returns, specifically Version 5.1 for Regular & Correction quarterly e-TDS/TCS statements, accessed from the link provided on your website.
While preparing Annexure II (Salary Details) for quarter 4 of the financial year 2023-24, I discovered serious deficiencies within the software, particularly concerning the option to opt for taxation under Section 115BAC.
Upon selecting “No” for opting for taxation u/s 115BAC, I encountered the following significant problems:
Inability to Enter Deductions: The system does not allow me to input deductions under various sections, including but not limited to:
Section 80C
Section 80G
Section 80TTA
Deduction under Section 16(ii)
Deduction under Section 16(iii)
Deduction under Section 16(ia)
These deductions are crucial for accurate tax calculations and compliance with legal requirements. The inability to enter them severely compromises the functionality and reliability of the software for users.
In contrast, when opting for taxation u/s 115BAC as “Yes,” deductions become available, indicating a discrepancy in the software’s behaviour.
This discrepancy is highly problematic and raises concerns about the accuracy and integrity of the RPU for Quarterly Returns. It not only undermines user confidence but also poses potential legal and financial risks associated with incorrect tax filings.
Therefore, I urgently request your immediate attention to rectify these defects. It is imperative that the RPU for Quarterly Returns accurately handles all relevant tax deductions and options to ensure compliance and provide users with a seamless experience.
Furthermore, I urge you to conduct a thorough review of the software to identify any other potential issues or discrepancies and implement necessary fixes promptly. This proactive approach is essential to maintaining the credibility and effectiveness of your software.
I appreciate your prompt action on this matter and request regular updates on the rectification process. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you require any further information or assistance.
Please remember, from AY 2024-25 the New Tax Regime u/s 115BAC is default. So when you opt out from new tax regime and select “yes” the deductions will be available and if you select “no” i.e. you choose new tax regime, deductions will not be available except standard deduction
