People who have been filing the income tax returns for the AY 2012 - 2013 will all be facing this unique problem with the TDS certificate No.
If you notice in the income tax return we will have to specify the TDS Certificate No. in case of tax deducted at source other than on salary. i.e. in case of Form 16A.
Here we need to enter 8 digits whereas when receiving the Form 16A we get the forms with 6 digits.
Even in the schema for filing income tax return online we will have to specify 8 digits otherwise it shall not allow filing of returns.
So what is the solution for this problem?
Practioners are following this method to solve the problem, but we do not endorse this in our article. They are using 00 before the 6 digits to make it 8 digits.
In case you guys have any other alternatives please share with us.

Just wanted to let you know - I called up the Income Tax Department's Call Center at 18001801961 this morning (11th July) and they confirmed that we need to prefix two zeros to the TDS certificate number.
ReplyDeleteYES, SPACE PROVIDED IN ITR IS FOR 8 DIGIT AND WE HAVE 6 DIGIT OF CERTIFICATE NO. SO WE HAVE TO ADD 00 BEFORE THE CERTIFICATE NUMBER OR LEAVE IT BLANK AS IT IS NOT MANDATORY.
