To
All Commissioners of Income Tax (TDS),

Subject: Measures for Revenue Augmentation- data uploaded by CPC-TDS, Vaishali­ action thereon

Madam/Sir,

The CPC -TDS, Vaishali has uploaded data of various categories of TDS defaulters on the AOs Portal (TRACES website) for action by the TDS field formations. These are enumerated as below:

(i)       Short payment (non-Government)  above Rs 1 Lakh but with negligible amounts available in challans

(ii)      Short payment  (Corporates)  above  Rs  10 Lakh  but  with  insufficient  amounts available in challans

(iii)     Top 500 cases for each CIT(TDS) charge where the interest u/s 201 (1A) on late deposit of TDS is outstanding

In these lists, mismatch cases have been largely eliminated and immediate action by the field may yield positive results in terms of revenue augmentation.

The data also includes list of deductors who have been paying TDS belatedly (separate list for delay more than 1 year and delay more than 2 year). These cases can be pursued with a view to ensure that the TDS payments in their case pertaining to the FY 2014-15 are deposited by 25.03.2015.

Besides the CPC-TDS has reported that huge amount of manually raised  demand has been uploaded on the AOs portal. All out efforts to collect the demand so raised should be made.

Yours faithfully

(Anshu Prakash)
