Conclusion
The facility provided by NSDL will go a long way in helping deductors file correction
statements in organized and better manner. The process of registration is simple but
considering security every mail attachment from NSDL comes with password
protection. This will require deductor to keep track of TAN registration number till it
is activated. The process of placing request for consolidated statement , again is little
complex for the sake of security. We placed one request and we were asked two
questions . One was to fill up PAN and deductee amount in respect of 5 deductees.
Second question was to fill up Challan Sr No , date and amount.
The statement arrived via email within 24 hours as promised
