for HUFs , the date of incorporation in some cards are shown as Ancestral. how do we give the date of incorporation for registration in Traces?
Take date of incorporation as per pan card
When registering as a taxpayer, should the communication address be the one on the PAN card or the address given to the Deductor. I no longer live at the address mentioned on my PAN card
You can give present address. NO such conditions.
Thank you for the feedback. I tried registering, but after step 2 received an email saying ‘registration failure as information did not match’. No other details were provided.
I used option 1 during registration. My bank has provided Form 16A. The form shows TDS deduction details for two accounts on the same form 16A. The challan number is the same both the TDS amounts
1. While entering the TDS amount should I fill in the total tax deducted or the tax deducted only for one account?
2. The date on which interest is deposited & tax deducted is 31-Dec-2014 while the date on which the tax was deposited is 05-Jan-2015. While entering the month-date, should I mention Dec-2014 or Jan-2015?
