During the appeal hearing, for a query from the bench, the Ld.AR neither furnished the actual tax liability nor furnished the details. The case was posted for hearing in as many as 20 occasions and the A.R continuously taken the adjournment.

In the instant case, the Ld.AR could not bring any mistake of calculation of tax liability u/s 201 and 201(1A). We are unable to accept the contention of the Ld.AR that there was mistake in the tax calculation. From the order of the Ld.CIT(A), we observe that the Ld.CIT(A) has correctly calculated the TDS liability in respect of 162 cases and the assessee failed to show that there was mistake in the order of the Ld.CIT(A).
