As per the mandate of the incumbent administrative bodies, it has now become necessary for the TDS deducting officials authorized by the government to state the BIN (Book Identification Number) on the TDS statement. Therefore, in the respective return statements, this number has to be stated. In case of any discrepancy or error while quoting the BIN number on the TDS return statement, the return document is considered erroneous and therefore, the return is bound to be rejected.
