  1. Facts

    The e-Filing portal has a grievance facility under the Grievances menu. Missing credit and TDS statement issues go to CPC-TDS, while defaults by deductors can be sent to the Assessing Officer. You get an acknowledgement number to track it.

  2. Provisions and law

    • Sec 199, Income-tax Act 1961TDS deducted and paid to the government is treated as tax paid on your behalf and credited as per the Rules
    • Sec 200(3) (now Sec 397(3)(b))Deductors must file quarterly TDS statements and can file correction statements
  3. Analysis

    The user manual lists CPC-TDS categories covering Form 26AS issues and TDS statement problems, and the Assessing Officer category covering TDS defaults by deductors. Choose the Act and year, describe the problem in at least 100 characters with the deductor's TAN, amounts and periods, and attach proof like payslips or invoices. Track it under View Grievance Status. A grievance does not replace the deductor's correction, but it pushes the matter.

  4. Conclusion

    1. Log in and go to Grievances, Submit Grievance.
    2. Choose CPC-TDS or Assessing Officer, then the matching category.
    3. Describe the issue with TAN, period and amount, and attach proof.
    4. Note the acknowledgement number and track the status.
