Notes on Clauses:
Clause 51 of the Bill seeks to amend section 200A of the Income-tax Act relating to processing of statements of tax deducted at source.
The existing provisions contained in sub-section (1) of the aforesaid section provide that statement of tax deduction at source or a correction statement made under section 200 shall be processed in the manner specified therein.
It is proposed to amend sub-section (1) of the said section to provide that statement of tax deduction at source or correction statement made under section 200 shall be processed and sum deductible under Chapter XVII shall be computed after also taking into account the fee, if any, payable in accordance with the provisions of section 234E. The sum payable or refundable shall be determined after adjusting the aforesaid computed sum against any amount paid under section 200 or section 201 or section 234E and any amount paid otherwise by way of tax or interest or fee.
This amendment will take effect from 1st June, 2015.
