Taking a cue from the same, one such outreach\nprogramme was organised on the 16th of July, 2019 for the Durga Puja Committees\nat their own request. Nearly eight (8) members of the Forum attended the\noutreach programme voluntarily and were educated about the provisions of TDS.\nTheir doubts pertaining to TDS provisions were also clarified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is reiterated that the aforesaid exercise is in no manner\nwhatsoever against the Puja Committees, but has been undertaken to ensure that\nthe contractors and event managers pay their due taxes correctly within the\nstipulated time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There have been reports in the media about Income Tax notices being issued to Durga Puja Committees in Kolkata.
