This has the reference to the SB Order No. 05/2021 dated 09.03.2021. Post Offices were ordered to deduct the TDS under Section 194N of IT Act 1961 on the basis of the details of all such account holders shared by CEPT, Chennai on monthly basis.
2. The functionality for deduction of TDS under Section 194N of IT Act 1961 has been deployed in Finacle in various patches on 30.05.2022, 22.06.2022 and 04.08.2022. Accordingly, the TDS deduction under Section 194N will be made in Finacle System based on the inputs i.e. percentage of TDS to be deducted, entered by the post office concerned. It shall be the responsibility of the post offices concerned to update correct percentage of TDS to be deducted for the depositor concerned, in CBS Finacle System.
