Facts
After the deductor files a correction statement, it is processed by TRACES and then 26AS updates. This typically takes from a few days to a few weeks, depending on processing.
Provisions and law
- Sec 200(3), Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 397(3)(b))The deductor files quarterly TDS statements and can file correction statements to fix errors.
- Sec 200A, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 399)TDS statements and corrections are processed and an intimation is sent to the deductor.
Analysis
Ask the employer for the correction's token number and date. Check 26AS weekly. If nothing changes after a month, ask whether the correction was accepted or rejected; rejections happen for format or challan errors. Plan your filing or rectification after the update.
Conclusion
- Get the correction token number and date.
- Check 26AS every week.
- After a month, ask the deductor about processing status.
