Assessee's liability to collect and deposit TCS on scrap was examined on the basis of filed Form 27EQ returns, quarterly acknowledgements and a reconciliation matching scrap sales in TCS returns with audited accounts; the tribunal accepted a detailed quarterly summary showing TCS collected and adjustments (including roll-scrap treated as asset sale and duties/taxes) and held that these documentary reconciliations established collection and deposit of TCS. Operative effect: the assessment officer's imposition of additional TCS liability was found unsustainable and the order levying extra TCS was set aside.
