The Tribunal found the deductor/employer had deducted tax but failed to remit it, file returns or issue Form 16, thereby breaching Chapter XVII obligations; however, the assessee produced contemporaneous payslips evidencing deduction and could not procure employer records as an ex-employee. The Tribunal held that the revenue cannot deny credit where the assessee has furnished available documentary evidence showing deduction and where noncompliance lies with the deductor; therefore the TDS claimed in the return must be accepted and the appeal allowed. en-us Wed, 19 Nov 2025 08:52:41 +0530 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 08:52:44 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=94306 ITAT allowed the appeal and directed grant of TDS credit to the assessee despite absence of Form 16 and non-reflection in Form 26AS.
