FACILITY FOR CORRECTON OF FORM 26QB ACTIVATED (REVISED)

Section 194IA of the Income tax Act relates to the TDs deducted on sale of property. Form 26QB is an online statement cum challan to filled and submitted by the buyer of the property for making TDS payment on sale of property. Form 26QB contains details of buyer, seller, property being sold, sale consideration, tax deposited details, address of the property sold etc.

Earlier, no correction was allowed to be made to Form 26QB because of an internet challan.

Now, CPC has enabled functionality for correction in Form 26QB form 29/02/2016.

Reasons for default and need for correction-

1. Short deduction- Short deduction is computed when the rate at which tax deducted is less than 1%.
2. Late payment and Interest thereon- When TDS is deducted after the due date of challan deposit i.e. 7^th of the next month for which transaction is reported. Interest 1.5% per month from the date of tax deduction to the date of tax deposit is charged.
3. Late Deduction Interest- When TDS is not deducted on the date of payment, then interest on late deduction 1% per month from the date of transaction to the date of tax deduction is charged.
4. Interest on Short deduction- Interest on short deduction is calculated @1% per month or part thereof from the date on which tax was deductible to the date of processing of statement.
5. Late filing fee- As per section 234E, where a person fails to file the TDS/TCS statement within the due date, he shall be liable to pay Rs. 200.00 each day during which the failure continues. Fee amount cannot exceed TDS deductible as per 26QB.
