The income tax department has given out the procedure for the deductor to upload 15G and 15H forms to the Income Tax Department.
The first step is from the deductee’s side who will be submitting the forms 15G or 15H, either manually or electronically to the deductor. This has to be digitized by the deductor and uploaded to the department website on quarterly basis.
Now we will see the steps to be taken by the deductor to excute this entire process at http://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in.
- Registration – The basis for any deductor to file form 15G or 15H is that he should be a registered as a “Tax Deductor and Collector” at the Income Tax Department website and should hold a valid TAN.
