Case Laws Income Tax HC
TDS u/s 194A - TDS on the interest component of the compensation paid by insurance company - Tribunal has taken note of the fact that the TDS deducted by the petitioner has been deposited and Form-16-A too has been produced, yet the Tribunal has called upon the Insurance Company to deposit the amount again with it so that same is disbursed to the claimants. The approach adopted by the Tribunal is not countenanced by law. The amount deducted at source as a tax on the interest component is deposited with the government treasury is the money deposited for and on behalf of the income tax payee i.e. claimants and, therefore, there cannot be unjust enrichment by making payment twice. - HC
