DOs for avoiding demand creation and Facilitating demand closure
1. Always verify challan details at TRACES website before reporting the same in the TDS statement, to avoid short payment demand due to challan mismatch.
2. If demand is present in 24Q and challan is paid against the same, deductor must file correction in both ANNEXURE I and ANNEXURE II.
3. Always raise correct flag in Deductee rows as per reason for higher/lower/no deduction of TDS.
4. Regularly check the demand reflecting on traces login and take necessary action for closure of demand.
