Issues: Whether the amount deposited by the payer pursuant to withholding-tax proceedings, and reflected as TDS in the assessee's Form 26AS and Form 16A, could be given effect to in the assessee's hands and, if so, how it was to be brought to tax.
Analysis: The payment to the assessee had originally been made without deduction of tax at source, but subsequent proceedings under the withholding-tax provisions resulted in deposit of the tax that ought to have been withheld. The record also showed corresponding TDS credit entries in Form 26AS and issuance of Form 16A. The dispute was not whether the payer's deposit existed, but whether the assessee could obtain credit for it when the related amount was not separately offered as income in the return. The appropriate course, in the facts of the case, was to recognise the TDS credit as having the same character as the underlying RPC fee and to tax it in the same manner, after factual verification of the exact amount from the relevant TDS records.
Conclusion: The TDS credit was directed to be verified and then treated as income of the assessee bearing the same character as the RPC fee and taxed accordingly, in favour of the assessee to that extent.
Ratio Decidendi: Amounts deposited as withholding tax and reflected in the assessee's TDS records may, where factually linked to the underlying payment, be treated as part of the same income stream and taxed in the same manner as that underlying income.
