Head Post office at Chembur,Mumbai-400071 made TDS from my Senior Citizen Savings account Nos:6001630 and 6002082 for the Financial year 2008-2009 (Assessment Yr 2009-10) on PAN account AAVPR8356F but have not deposited same to the Income tax authority. I have received a notice from the Tax department about the shortfall in my returns. Taking up the matter with the Post office do not evoke any response. Further they issued form 16A without even mentioning the PAN number. Can something be done with this Post office to ensure TDS are deposited ontime as per regulations.

In reponse to above complaint,I recd a reply from the head Post office informing that they have not deposited the TDS deducted to IT authority due to shortage of Staff. It appears to be ridiculous reason and can anyone accept this??? If there is no staff, then TDS also should not be deducted. Irresponsible indeed on part of Post office for not doing the necessary work for flimsy reason. Am i supposed to provide them the staff???

Head Post office at Kalyani, P.O-Kalyani, Dist-Nadia, made TDS from my Agency Code No-0238848A (As I am agent of SAS) for Financial year 2008-2009 on PAN No-AEOPM2402E but have not deposited individually same to the Income tax authority.
I have received verbally a notice from Tax Department that, I am not entitled to Refund of any TDS as the TDS not deposited by the Post office individually to the IT Department. Taking up the matter with Post office do not evoke any response.
