The inability to withdraw 15 CB forms from the e-filing system may account for a significant portion of the time it takes to update them. This is the statement from ICAI. However, the e-filing system has recently included a withdrawal feature, allowing CAs to withdraw their 15CB forms after providing justification. Let’s understand the latest updates for withdrawal facility of Form 15cb enabled on e-filing portal.
What is Form 15 CB?
When transferring more above INR 5 lakhs from outside of India, you must fill out Form 15CB. CA is responsible for drafting and issuing Form 15CB. All of the information on the nature and purpose of the remittance, as well as the TDS rate and TDS deduction, may be found on Form 15CB.
The CA determines whether or not income tax should be applied to a foreign transfer based on the provisions of the Income Tax legislation and the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), and this is documented in Form 15CB, the Tax Determination Certificate.
There is no deadline for filing Form 15CB, but it must be submitted electronically. To file the form 15CB online, you can visit: Form 15CA and 15CB
