Please provide correct advice in the following situation. We filed ROI for AY 2019-20 on 30-10-2019 and paid a tax amount of Rs 1,20,03,465/- under section 115JB. Above return was processed u/s 143 (1) by intimation dated 19-05-2020. The Company has deposited Advance tax of Rs. 40, 00,000/- and ITR -6 for AY 2019-20 was filed under Section 139 on 30-10-2019 to obviate any violation in Tax compliance including the TDS claim of Rs. 87,29,484/-. In the Intimation order the assessing officer had accepted the income and other claims of the Appellant but had demanded Rs 97,85,148/- as balance tax and interest. During the Assessment Year relevant to Previous Year 2018-19, the land under the ownership of the Assessee has been taken over by the Government for Guruvayur Dewaswam (GD). LA compensation of Rs.38565360/- (on 5- 2-2018), Rs.4,00,00,000/- (on 4-2-2019), and Rs.48,28,009/- on19-11-2020 were paid to the Petitioner Company. Deductor, GD did not deposit the TDS to government in relevant years, this resulted in the demand of Rs. 97,85,148/- on Company towards balance tax and interest in the intimation u/s 143 (1) dated 19-05-2020. GD deposited Rs.95,02,088 /- towards TDS and Rs.21, 25,421 /-towards TDS and interest on 30-1-2021 and filed TDS return for the Assessment Year 2021-22. (not AY 2019-20). Deductor is delaying filing revised TDS return in spite of many requests even by Income tax authorities. Can the Income tax department seek to recover Income tax with fine from Company for AY 2019-20, on mere fact that Petitioner could not account for deposit of such tax (TDS) (Rs.87,29,484/-, only because the deductor, after paying the compensation to Petitioner in relevant year, did not deposit TDS to government revenue? Should the assessee suffer for the fault of the deductor? We understand There is a bar under Section 205 and circular of CBDT in this matter.
Ans: If TDS is deducted and there was delay in depositing TDS, said TDS amount cannot be recovered from deductee. There are some judicial pronouncements for the same which provides relief to taxpayer (deductee). But in given case, I understand that it is not case of delay but amount credited in different year.

In such a case, you can request to jurisdictional officer to provide credit of TDS in the year in which income is offered to tax though TDS is appearing in 26AS of subsequent year and it can be subject to litigation.

Usict usar mait msit cse as backup with csab round for nits at iiits at 75k?
Ans: With a JEE Main rank of 75,000, admission prospects through CSAB rounds for NITs and IIITs remain minimal. The CSAB special rounds typically see cutoffs for IIITs closing around 40,000-65,000 for the general category across most branches, with newer IIITs occasionally extending to 70,000-80,000 ranks for less popular branches. Among Delhi colleges for CSE backup options, USICT recorded placement rates of 90% (2022) and 76% (2023), with 126 offers from 32 companies in 2024. MAIT Delhi shows strong performance with CSE cutoffs ranging from 37,928-47,478 (last round) and 1,075 total offers in 2024, achieving 703 UG placements with a median of ?6 LPA. MSIT Delhi delivered 541 student placements in 2024 with 118 recruiting companies, achieving 99% placement rates in CSE/IT branches in 2023. USAR is a newer campus under GGSIPU focusing on emerging fields like AI, ML, and automation, though placement data remains limited due to its recent establishment. All four colleges maintain active placement cells with major recruiters including Amazon, Microsoft, TCS, Infosys, and Google, offering competitive CSE programs under GGSIPU's centralized placement system.

Recommendation: Prioritize MAIT Delhi CSE for its proven track record and highest placement offers, followed by MSIT Delhi for consistent 99% CSE placements; consider USICT as a cost-effective government option with decent placement rates; explore USAR only if interested in specialized AI/ML fields despite limited placement history, while simultaneously applying to private colleges outside Delhi for better CSE prospects at your rank. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
