Parties Involved

Facts Summary

The assessee, Powergrid Rampur Sambhal Transmission Limited, filed its return of income for Assessment Year 2022-23 on 22.09.2022. The return was processed under Section 143(1) of the Income-Tax Act, 1961, wherein only a TDS credit of Rs.3,485/- was allowed instead of the Rs.5,65,923/- appearing in Form 26AS. No prior intimation of the proposed adjustment was issued to the assessee. The assessee filed a rectification application under Section 154 of the Act, which was partly allowed, sustaining the disallowance of TDS credit of Rs.5,62,438/- but reducing the interest from Rs.12,528/- to Rs.3,133/- and raising a demand of Rs.9400/-. The assessee then appealed to the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), whose order was partly allowed. Subsequently, the assessee filed the present appeal with several grounds, primarily concerning the disallowance of TDS credit.…
