The aforesaid appeal has been filed by the assessee against the impugned order dated 20.02.2018 passed by Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-XX, New Delhi for the Assessment Year 2014-15.
The assessee is an advocate by profession and derived income from business or profession, income from salary, income from house property and income from other sources. In this case, the Assessing Officer had made an addition of Rs.3,78,294/- as the assessee had failed to show the TDS deducted at Rs.3,78,294/- on the total interest receipt of Rs.37,82,921/- as per the details of 26AS. 3.

system of accounting in the interest income when received are included in the gross receipts. The assessee has also submitted that the credit of this TDS be allowed as deduction out of the said tax as per Section 199 of the Act. Ld. CIT(A) held that the provision of Section 198 of the Act provides that the tax deducted at the source shall be deemed to be the income received for the purpose of computing the income of the recipient and hence there is no merit in the agreements of the assessee. Holding, thus, the ld. CIT(A) has confirmed the addition of Rs.3,78,294/- that the amount of TDS deducted.
