In Form No. 16A, TDS Certificate Number is required to be furnished in the Table Sr. No. 24, Column No. 5. in 6 (Six) Character Alpha No. while e-filing of Income Tax Return. In this regard Assessee/Taxpayee can e-file the return without quoting the Alpha character certificate number also. Quoting of the six character Alpha TDS Certificate number generated by the NSDL, as mentioned on the right top side of the TDS Certificate is not mandatory in Column No. 5. The return could be validated & uploaded without quoting of this alpha character certificate number.
Income Tax department has inserted this column to educate and digest these new features by all taxpayer in voluntary manner so that there is a smooth run when this field is declared as mandatory field and Income tax department is planning to do so from Financial Year 2012-13 and Assessment year 2013-14. The non acceptance of the alpha character certificate number could be due to the usage of old forms or software from registered taxpayee/assessee with Income Tax Department. If Taxpayee wish to file the return only by quoting the Certificate Number, then assessee may try further by uploading the return using the latest schema of the form from www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in of Income Tax Department.
