The Central Board of Di rect Taxes, the apex direct taxes body, has announced simplification of the process of online rectification of incorrect details of tax deducted at source (TDS) filed in the income tax return (ITR). Earlier, taxpayers were required to fill in complete details of the entire TDS schedule while applying for rectification on the e-filing portal of the I-T Department. To avoid this, the CBDT has said a new facility has been provided for pre-filling of TDS schedule while submitting online rectification request on the e-filing portal to facilitate easy correction or up-dating of TDS details. “This is expected to considerably ease the burden of compliance on the taxpayers seeking rectification due to TDS mismatch,“ an official statement said. Errors due to incomplete TDS details in rectification applications were leading to delays in processing of such applications, thereby causing hardships to taxpayers, it added.
