It is unfortunate that post offices, banks and many companies are not aware of their duties, some acting with excessive zeal deducting tax, where it is not necessary or put the recipient to unnecessary formalities as is pointed out by the reader. There is negligence in tax deduction itself in the case of many banks and such public institutions indicating that the enforcement of the provisions both in the interest of the Income-tax Department and the taxpayers require to be geared. While efforts are taken to ensure tax deduction at source, there is hardly any effort to stop unnecessary trouble and over-deductions and to see that troubles to the public are avoided. Education for both deductors and deductees would be necessary. Publicity in matters of TDS through media is an urgent necessity.
