The statement from the department said that “Taxpayers will benefit if they receive information through the use of technology. So they can match the office salary slip and the SMS and at the end of the fiscal he will be clear about any possible tax dues,” Jaitley told reporters here after launching the SMS alert service. The salaried class cannot afford to pay tax twice or indulge in litigations, and so should be kept updated about their TDS deductions.”
“The CBDT will soon extend this SMS facility to another 4.4 crore non-salaried taxpayers,” a finance ministry statement here said. “The frequency of SMS alerts will be increased, once the process for filing TDS returns is streamlined to receive such information on a real-time basis,” it added.
