What did CBDT say?

A circular by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said that several complaints have been received from taxpayers stating that they have received notices in this regard. It has been mentioned in the notice that where PAN was inactive, they defaulted in deducting/collecting less TDS/TCS at the time of making such transactions. In such cases deduction/collection has not been made at the higher rate. Therefore, the department has raised tax demand during the processing of TDS/TCS details.
