An Update (well intended > for special attention of, social activists and law experts at large)
This write-up mostly concerns mismatch of TDS data, in particular leading to the otherwise avoidable consequence of an in -fructuous demand. On the flip side, however, there is another aspect, which must be of no less concern, hence needs to be brought to sharp focus. That is an instance in which, should there be clearly excess tax paid by way of TDS, etc., resulting in a refund claim. Such a refund claim has come to be seriously jeopardised , in a case in which, a person being LR and therefore, has to file the tax return of a deceased , of his income accrued or received up to/as on the date of his demise. That is the intended or not-so-realised consequence of the CPC prescribed procedure; which, in turn, prevents the LR who volunteers and files such return from accessing some services (see the items numbered in the Table , with the remark NO facilities), unless and until he manages to and furnish anyone of the 5 Certificates .
Out of the so specified 5 Certificates, Registered Will is one. Even so, at least one instance in which the LR, who was named in the Will of the deceased, a copy whereof was offered to be placed on record, has been prevented by the CPC, - by doing so the view taken/ reason given by the CPC is patently fallacious; in a way suicidal, if were to be critically examined, in that, it goes against the very grain of expectation by the Revenue of tax payers compliance with the law.

Government has initiated some programmes like meeting to the officers on wednesday without prior appointment, etc., we as a citizen has to fully utilise those and if we are right we may go to any levels and by that we may get our queries solves, even PM is directly looking after these query resolution. So we should first try for those and make people aware for that and then reach to a conclusion...
As it is, making a Tax payer responsible for collecting tax on behalf of the govt is ATROCIOUS, to say the least!
IT dept should have worked at getting rid of the TDS, instead they complicate further?
I have never seen Form 26AS match TDS actually deducted by banks. One bank doesn't even bother to deduct TDS. Some other don't send F16 or upload data.
