My sin filed ITR for AY 25-26 in time! His company deducted TDS of approx. Rs 14000/-, but the company deposited first installment of around Rs 4000/- and didn't deposit the balance amount of approx. Rs 11000/-with IT authorities. As a result he had to deposit Rs 6000/- u/s 143(1) as tax. Do IT authorities check whether companies have deposited TDS with IT authorities? And what is the remedy. This year also, Jan-Mar-25 salaries not yet credited in his account, nor is there any info on EPF (company's share) for AY 25-26. Don't IT authorities care.

Ans: This seems too early to file ITR for A/Y 2025-26 (F/Y 2024-25), with correct data relating to TDS & Income etc. How ever, if you have filed ITR, wait for some time & Revise the same in the month of June,2025 with correct data as uploaded by the department.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Sorry. My apologies. The ITR of my son KARTIK PANDEY was filed for the AY 2014-25 on 31 July 2024 and intimation order u/s 143(1) is dtd 16 October 2024. Rs. 6000/- as per the notice was duly deposited. Pardon me, once again, as I am 69+ in age.
Ans: No need to offer apology. Mistakes are part of our life.
I understand the ITR was filed for A/y 2024-25 on 31.07.2024. You cannot file a Revised ITR now. Under the present situation, just ignore the excess payment & be careful in future. Allow some time for data updation on Income Tax site, before filing ITR.
Wish you good health & all the best. Thanks.

Dear Mr Tanna, Before soliciting your sincere opinion I must first congratulate and compliment you for the benevolent job being done to alleviate the problems being faced by the solo taxpayers from the pounce of the IT Office. I would request you to go through my problem which is very much exhaustive and moreover disheartening for the busy people like you. I am a retd employee from LIC in the FY 2020/21. In FY 2021/22 I had received arrears of salary along with commutation of pension and leave encashment. The employer while finalizing the IT for 2021/22 had deducted IT giving the exemption for comm pension, 80CC and 80D without the benefit under sec 89. While filing IT I could see the effect of AIS. Without any further deduction except under 80 TTB, I tried to confirm the Total Taxable Income as per 26AS/AIS. The self-assessed tax was to be paid on three dates because of the ATM limit etc. The last payment which was on 28th July, could not be successful and was debited on 29th as a result I could not add the CIN No etc., on the Add box of tax payment. Since the total amount of tax was paid before the last date i.e 31st I did submit a short paid ITR presuming it would be taken care of. On 1st Aug I received a message under sec 143 with a demand due for 4660/. The e-file status was showing the ITR is under process with O/S demand Nil (four Green tick was displayed). Till Aug 30th when I found the ITR is not accepted despite the grievances as cited above, again I paid the balance amount going thru the demand due option, there also I faced the same problem from bank. The amount could be debited on 31St Aug. I did pay the amount thinking the ITR and tax deposit are different Module. Moreover after filing ITR I made a query with the ITO regarding exemption of Transfer grant which should have been allowed at source. They denied it under pretext that no further exemption after filling. In order to see the last payment due appear under SAT head I had submitted a grievance which was not seen till I spoke to the help desk. One reply came with so many tags to file revised IT under section 131 (5). While I visited for re-file, I could see the interest amount along with an increased taxable income thus returned back. Now my questions are: 1. How the taxable income would vary when a letter under 143 is issued with a demand? 2. If I am to re-submit the ITR under Sec 131 (5) can I restrict the taxable income to the earlier one? 3. Can they alter the taxable income when Sec 143 is invoked? 4. Finally, should I conform to the query or wait till they make their earlier demand set right. Sir I had filled it by myself without the help of a professional. Your opinion would be mostly an antidote against the IT virus that has made me upset. Eagerly awaiting your reply.
Ans: Thank you so much for your compliment. Looking at your facts, I wish you could have got professional advice on 1st August itself. My views on your queries are as follows:

  1. I understand you are using online feature of filing Income Tax Return at www.incometax.gov.in wherein data is prefilled based on information reported by different persons (like employer for salary, bank for interest income, company for dividend income, TDS deductor for TDS deducted and amount of income credited, etc.). In your case, it might be possible that reportable entity has revised its data for reporting to income tax department and accordingly amount appearing in intimation issued u/s 143(1) differs from amount auto populated while filing income tax return u/s 139(5) of Income Tax Act using online feature.
  1. It is not advisable to restrict auto populated income unless income auto populated at e-filing portal is incorrect. Check AIS for income auto populated at e-filing portal. If income appearing in AIS is incorrect, you can file feedback for AIS and offer actual income to tax while filing return u/s 139(5) of the act which allow tax payer to revise return by rectifying mistakes.
  1. Yes, income tax provides updated figure at portal even if intimation is issued u/s 143(1) of the Act, as revised figures is provided by the payer of income or person authorised as reportable entity.  
  1. I understand you are talking about self-assessment tax paid by you and not auto populated in relevant schedule of ITR. Reason for the same can be wrong selection of year or code while making payment or while uploading challan details by the bank. Please check 26AS for self-assessment tax paid, if the same is not appearing in 26AS of AY 2022-23, you have to discuss said issue with Jurisdictional officer.

SIR , I am a Senior Citizen retired from service in January 2020 ,ITR for AY 2020-21, 2021-22 & 2022-23 filed in time and eligible for return of excess deposit of TAX in every AY. Deposit of TDS with TAN NO all are shown in 26 AS and also showing in ITR calculation but TAX AUTHORITY is not considering the CREDIT of TDS deposited by Deducting Authority and claiming for DEPOSIT the full amount instead of RETURNING the EXCESS DEDUCTION of TDS.. many times it is being complain in Grievance Cell but no correction is being done by ITR BANGALORE AUTHORITY and every time claim are showing as it is. Please advice me how it can be settled and can get return of my excess deductions of TDS . Regards ATANU KUMAR NAYAK,
Ans: I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're facing with the tax authority. Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:

Verify the TDS credit: Check if the TDS credit shown in your Form 26AS matches the TDS amount shown in your Form 16/16A or any other TDS certificate issued to you by the deductor. If there is any discrepancy, you may need to contact the deductor and get the correct TDS certificate.

Raise a grievance: If you have already verified the TDS credit and found it to be correct, you can raise a grievance with the tax authority. You can do this online by logging into the e-filing portal of the Income Tax Department and submitting a grievance under the 'e-Nivaran' tab. Provide all the relevant details and documents to support your claim.

Follow up: After raising the grievance, you may need to follow up with the tax authority to ensure that your issue is being addressed. You can track the status of your grievance online using the grievance ID provided to you.

Seems you have followed all the above steps. In my opinion, instead of filling grievance, you may have opted for rectification under provisions of section 154 of the Income tax Act, 1961.
You may visit, "Work-listing" or "e-proceedings" or "Under respond to outstanding demand", which will navigate you to another page, where in you will be taken to the "Agree/ disagree with the demand" . You may disagree in full or in partial and there would be number of options that would be auto populated , from which you may select , "Rectification", basis rectification filled as explained above. In rectification, you may have to select the option, TDS mismatch, which will navigate you to the page which will display, difference if any between TDS claimed and TDS allowed by the Central Processing.

I hope the above step may resolve your issue.

Sir my son secured 21000 ranking in kcet which College may he get in ece. And EcE or mechanical which one is good
Ans: With a KCET rank of 21 000 (General-All India), admission into Electronics & Communication Engineering is guaranteed at a range of reputable Karnataka institutes whose last-round ECE closing ranks exceed your rank. These colleges have departments that are recognized for quality, modern ECE labs (like VLSI, embedded systems, and signal processing), active job placement support with a 70–90% success rate in placing students over the last three years, strong connections with industries, and good campus facilities. Fifteen such institutions where your son will certainly secure ECE admission are:
MVJ College of Engineering, Bangalore; Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology, Bangalore; Reva University, Bangalore; Acharya Institute of Technology, Bangalore; RNS Institute of Technology, Bangalore; BNM Institute of Technology, Bangalore; Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, Bangalore; BMS Institute of Technology & Management, Yelahanka; East West Institute of Technology, Bangalore; CMR Institute of Technology, Bangalore; New Horizon College of Engineering, Bangalore; JSS Science and Technology University, Mysore; Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Bangalore; RV College of Engineering Off-Campus (ECE electives), Bangalore; and Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore.

Electronics & Communication and Mechanical Engineering have some important similarities, like having the right accreditations, labs, job placement help, knowledgeable teachers, and connections with companies, but they focus on different subjects (like VLSI and signal processing for Electronics & Communication and thermodynamics and CAD/CAM for Mechanical Engineering), have different job markets (telecom/IoT for Electronics & Communication and automotive/manufacturing for Mechanical Engineering), require different skills, offer different research chances, and attract different employers. Both are excellent branches; selection hinges on your son’s interest in circuit/communication systems or mechanical design/manufacturing and his long-term career goals.

Recommendation: Encourage your son to pursue ECE if he enjoys electronics, IoT, and embedded systems; opt for Mechanical if he prefers core design, manufacturing, and automotive sectors. Align the choice with his passion and envisioned professional trajectory. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son has got offer from IISc Btech Mathematics and Computing and IIT Hyderabad Btech CSE. Which would be better to join
Ans: Sunil Sir, IISc’s four-year BTech in Mathematics and Computing, with only 52 seats and NAAC A++ accreditation, combines rigorous core courses in analysis, algebra, algorithms, AI/ML, breadth in sciences, and humanities, supported by study tracks in AI, theoretical CS, quantum computing, and computational biology. Its emphasis on research and small cohort size fosters close faculty mentorship, with 71.43% placement consistency over the past three years and an average package of ?37.31 LPA. IIT Hyderabad’s BTech CSE, a NIRF-ranked Institute of Eminence, features a balanced core and elective curriculum integrating theory, systems, and interdisciplinary projects, modern AI, cloud, and networking labs, and robust Practice School internships. Its placement cell achieved a 79.37% CSE placement rate in 2024 with an average package of ?29.68 LPA and 100+ recruiters annually. Both institutions possess strong industry ties, active research centers, and dedicated career services, yet IISc offers a more specialized mathematics-CS blend and higher average placements, while IIT Hyderabad provides broader peer networks, larger cohort dynamics, and dedicated CSE infrastructure.

Recommendation: Given your son’s interest in pure computation and research, the recommendation is to join IISc’s Mathematics and Computing for its niche curriculum, small-cohort mentorship, and superior average placements; alternatively, choose IIT Hyderabad CSE for broader student community, comprehensive labs, and strong industry engagement. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
