    • hello Nalina, why are you worried. Its bank duty to file TDS return not your husband. So relax. You just need to file income tax return and claim TDS which was deducted by the bank.

  4. We are verymuch happy to the updates made by you. thank you. We have a query as follows.
    We are in public limited company paying all statutory remittances in time. During the FY 2015-16 for the month of Feb’16 we have remitted TDS on 07.03.2016 which is due date for remitting TDS vide online by 12.00 noon. While generating paid challan we have identified that the payment date is 07.03.2016 but tender date is as 08.03.2016, we have received intimation for late payment of TDS with interest for the same. later we came to know that the day which we paid TDS (07.03.16) was holiday in northern side (some festivals) hence Tender date was changed. our banker is Bank Of India having current account in local (Tuticorin-Tamilnadu).
    please suggest us how to solve this problem. when I sent mail to TDS helpdesk, they intimated us to remit the late payment fee as intimation received.
