GOVINDARAJAN I have been reading your Article on the TDS and have a samll query if u can throw some light on it it would be great. After receipt of approval of CIT an approved suoerannuation fund has been wound up .The bebeficiaries the sums of the fund have been paid after deduction of tax as per Part B of Fourth Schedule of IT Act I,e. @ average rate of tax of the beneficairy for the last three years, the Tax so deducted has been paid into Govt.

Rule 36A states "The returns referred to in Rules 37 and 37A shall be furnished to the Director General of Income-tax(Systems) or the person or agency authorised by DGIT(Systems)" Now Rule 36A refres to Rule 37 & 37A and does not mention Rule 33 whereas Rule 33 refers to Rule 36A. Further Rules 37 & 37A (as referred to in Rule 36A) deals with returns 24 & 26 only. there seems to be no requiremnt of filing return 24 in our case being discussed but only a staement as per Rule 33. Therefore where and how exactly the statement as referred to in Rule 33 is to be sent. Even accepting that tho ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... ugh Rule 36A does not refer to Rule 33 but as rule 33 refers to Rule 36A it should be DGIT(Systems) or person authorised by it which in effect means tin facilitation centres. Also that a only a paper return is possible as there is no e-fining format as per rule 33 and form 24 is not for this purpose. Further also as no. of deductees is less than 50 and it being a superannuatuion fund wherein Tax audit is not applicable a paper return should be accepted otherwise also. However the tin- centres are not accepting the statement sent to them i.e. satement in paper as per rule 33. Is my understanding on all matters discussedc above is faulty or correct like and if correct how to and where sent satement as per Rule 33 1. Statement as per Ru .....

The only alternae left would be to send by REGD. Post Ad to NSDL. Or if u could suggest something. one more query on the issue from Deductees point of view. They get no certificate or statement of tax deducted as their is no requiremnt.What should they do. As tax is decucted at the average rate of tax as per Part B Fourth Schedule so one can say the tax part is taken care of on amounts recd. by deductees. Is it so. Thanks & Regards Anup Kumar D .....
