CBEC - Please enable assessees to view NSDL challan report
WE got this mail from a concerned Netizen:
As of now, an assessee has no access to view a list of challans paid by him during a specified period.
On NSDL site, if the assessee enters challan number (CIN), and amount, the site returns whether the amount matches or not. But a report of all challans (like Form 26 AS in case of Income Tax) is not available.
Thus, if somehow an assessee does not have a challan or its CIN, it becomes helpless. This becomes a big problem in audit or anti evasion inquiries.
This report is accessible to Range office. But the officers have no clarity whether they can officially give it to the assessee or not.
I have requested aces helpdesk to provide a facility to view challan report for excise and service tax challans (just like Form 26 AS in case of Income Tax).
Can CBEC/ACES/NSDL do something?
