Tax planning
TDS deducted but not credited: claim and grievance
What this means, checked by a CA
Your employer or payer cut tax from your money but did not pay it to the government, so it is missing from 26AS. The law says you should not pay the same tax twice. We build the proof, claim the credit, raise a grievance and answer any demand.
