Challans, TDS/TCS Certificates not to be attached with IT Returns

The Income Tax Returns were made annexure-less last year. No document was required to be attached with these returns. The CBDT has further clarified that:
1. No annexures, TDS/ TCS certificates are required to be annexed to the returns of income. Wherever documents are attached with the return, the receiving official is required to detach and return to the tax-payers all such annexures;
2. The credit for tax deducted at source (TDS)/tax collected at source (TCS) shall be allowed on the basis of details furnished in the relevant schedules of the return forms, subject to relevant instructions on verification of TDS claims;
3.The assessees are also advised to retain with themselves all annexures relating to computation of income, TDS/TCS certificates, counterfoil of challans relating to payment of advance tax and self assessment tax, audit reports and any other document which they would have otherwise liked to file in support of their claims. The original documents and certificates may be produced by them as and when called for by the assessing officer
