TDS credit deducted by an employer cannot be denied to a salaried taxpayer solely because the employer failed to deposit the tax with the Revenue.

Denial through an intimation, consequential demand and recovery from refund was set aside to the extent of the disallowed TDS credit, with restoration of the recovered amount and applicable interest.
