Dear Deductor,(TAN: XXXXXXXXXXXX)

As per the records of the Centralized Processing Cell (TDS), discrepancies have been observed with respect to your TAN in the “TDS claimed by the taxpayers in their Income Tax Returns” vis-á-vis “Tax Credits available as per 26AS Statements”, for the Financial Years 2011, 2012 and 2013.

The above discrepancies have arisen due to the difference in the TDS claimed by the taxpayers in their Income Tax Returns vis-á-vis TDS reported by you in the quarterly TDS Statements. You may be aware that the transactions, available in 26AS statements, are based on the information reported by you in the TDS statements.

The discrepancies observed against your TAN are attached in the following format, to enable you to check your records for respective PANs and take appropriate action.

• Your attention is hereby drawn to the Order of the Hon’ble Delhi High Court, dated 14th March 2013, wherein serious note had been taken of the failure of deductors to report correct transactions.

• You are, therefore, required to verify the transactions reported by you for these PANs in the TDS statement for the respective Financial Years. You may appreciate that taxpayers are not able to get the credit for erroneous data uploaded by you in TDS statements.
