This discussion concerns a Rs. 4 Lakh loan provided in January 2017 via NEFT to a proprietorship concern. The borrower accrued interest and deducted TDS for the financial years 2017-18 and 2018-19. However, in 2020-21, the borrower claimed to have written off the loan in cash and repaid only Rs. 1 Lakh to the lender's personal account, despite the loan originating from an HUF account. The lender has filed a grievance with the Income Tax Department regarding TDS non-compliance and is seeking advice on whether this constitutes an IPC 420 offence or how to proceed with recovery.
