  1. My father is a senior citizen having a deposit of Rs 100000.00 in a nationalised bank. He had provided my name as nominee. He has also submitted 15 H so that tax is not deducted at sournce.

    Due to returns filed by the bank, in the first quarter the interest is shown as credited in Form 26 AS.

    In the second quarter the same is shown in my 26AS as interest credited under 15 H category with no TDS.( may be because i have my account there the bank has my PAN number) I am a assessee paying tax and regularly filing the IT return. I have a extraneous credit in my 26 AS now.

    We have jointly taken up the matter with the bank, there is no development.

    Filing of my annual return is due now.. Kindly guide me
    thanks

Kindly provide me solution for how to rectify the errors.

    • Hello Sir, There is an option to tick while entering TDS entry that it is an entry without PAN. So you have to check that option. Again if you got problem then please ask again but with complete detail like what software you are using? What exactly the message was appearing? Thanks..
