He, however, admitted the additional ground and directed the Assessing Officer to verify from the TDS Wing to establish whether the payers actually deducted the tax and/or filed the TDS return or not. If yes, the Assessing Officer is directed to give full credit of the TDS made on the basis of such verification report from the TDS Wing of the Income-tax Department.

Therefore, we confirm the order of the CIT(A). Accordingly, the appeal of the assessee as well as the revenue ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
