Questions
Q: Claim of TDS Credit Deducted by the Employer but not Paid by it to the

shall not be called upon to pay the tax himself to the extent to which tax
has been deducted from that income
Q: Can Individuals submit Form 15G, Form 15H to avoid TDS on dividend
income too?
Declaration can be filed by the individual if total dividend income does not
exceed the maximum exemption limit and tax on the estimated total
income for the financial year in which such income is to be included is nil

Questions
Q: Is employer answerable for Short deduction of tax on Salary?
Short deduction of tax under section 192 for any reason would
justify action of the AO in treating the employer as Assessee in
default
Q: Can Depreciation be claimed on a property where TDS u/s 194Q
is not complied?
Non-deduction of tax on the purchase of assets cannot take away
the right to claim depreciation, if the Asset happens to be a Non-
current Asset since Depreciation is not an expenditure but an
allowance.

Questions
Q: Whether the deduction of tax at source under sections 194C and
194J has to be made out of the gross amount of the bill including
reimbursements or excluding reimbursement for actual expenses ?
Sections 194C and 194J refer to any sum paid. The section hence
conveys reimbursements cannot be deducted out of the bill amount
for the purpose of tax deduction at source. To overcome this, it is
advisable to have a separate bill/invoice for reimbursement of
expenses
Q: Whether TDS is applicable to the component of GST?
TDS is not recoverable on component of GST
