SUB - TDS REOVERY ON COMMUTATION AND GRATUITY AMOUNT IN RESPECT OF EX-SERVICEMAN – SBI MAIN BRANCH VELLORE ACCOUNT NO[protected]

Respected Sir,

1. I have the honour to submit the following few lines for your information and favourable action please.
2. This is to inform that I am a Defence Pensioner drawing my pension from SBI Main Branch, Vellore. Consequent on 6th pay commission, arrears of COMMUTATION AND GRATUITY FOR RS 1, 90,282/- AND 1, 13,140/- respectively have been credited in my above account during Aug 2009 vide CDA pension Allahabad PPO No 3/COR/042066/2007 (copy enclosed). Afterwards I was intimated vide SBI Main Branch Vellore letter No Pen/TDS dt 03 Oct 2009 (copy enclosed) that a sum of Rs 47,735/- has been recovered on 01 Oct 2009 as TDS towards my above said pension arrears, for the cause of my income crossed the stipulated ceiling. The said TDS recovery has been done by the bankers without prior intimation to me.
3. In this connection, I bring it to your kind notice that Gratuity and Commutation amount is exempt to the extent specified from inclusion in computing the total income under clause 10 A of Section 10 under Commutation Rules of the Central Govt (copy enclosed).
4. In view of the para 3 above, TDS amount Rs 47,735/- recovered by the banker is totally incorrect. In this connection, already I made a request with bankers vide my application dated 11 Nov 2009 to repay the TDS amount recovered ( i.e 47,735/-) on the above clause. But, neither the amount nor or any reply has been received so far.
5. Therefore, I request your goodself to advice the banker to take action to repay the TDS amount already recovered. Immediate action is requested to repay the recovered amount as I am facing financial hardship.
Thanking you sir,
Yours faithfully,
(L Ravi)
