..... not to recover the said TDS credit or to allow the TDS credit to the assessee, however, in the second round the CIT(A) denied the credit citing the reasons that the assessee has not furnished the TDS certificates before the AO. In the present case before us this is not the case of the Department that TDS has not been deducted at source on behalf of the assessee but the only contention of the Department is that the certificate was not filed before the AO.

..... already filed TDS certificates qua ₹ 8,13,764/- with the Department vide letter dated 21.07.2004 and the TDS certificates in respect of ₹ 14,08,735/- have not been received by the assessee.

..... ekha Hajarnavis, ACIT Ors. (supra) wherein it has been held that it is sufficient that tax has been deducted at source and then Revenue can not recover the TDS amount with interest from the petitioner once again. We, therefore, respectfully following the decision of the Hon ble Bombay High Court set aside the order of Ld. CIT(A) and direct the AO to allow the credit of ₹ 14,08,733/- to the assessee.

CIT(A) dismissed the issue on the ground that interest under section 244A that the interest under section 244A was not allowable to the assessee by virtue of provisions of section 244A(2) of the Act. The relevant extract of the order is as under: 5..... Apparently, the AO has invoked the provisions of sec. 244A(2) of the I.T. Act, 1961 since the claim for this amount was made by the assessee in the return of the assessment year 2004-05 and not in that for the A. Y. 2003-04. The assessee has not made any submission before me to show that the provisions of sec. 244A(2) of the I. T. Act, 1961 is not applicable to it. No fault can, therefore, be found with the order of the AO on the issue .....

A.R. prayed before the Bench that AO may kindly be directed to re-compute the interest under section 244A of the Act. 12. The Ld. D.R., on the other hand, relied heavily on the order of authorities below by submitting that the assessee has made delayed claim by filing application dated 19.06.2014 claiming the additional TDS of ₹ 1,31,76,602/- and therefore the interest was rightly denied by the AO from May 2014 to June 2014. 13.
