The deductor is responsible to deduct TDS as per rules and declarations/proofs submitted but if there is any short deduction of TDS then the deductor will be treated as “Assesse in default” by the Income Tax Department.

However, if the Assesse files ITR and pay the requisite taxes then the deductor is not longer can be considered as in default.
