It is a document which serves as an annexure to the intimation to be sent to the deductor. Intimation will be sent to the deductor through mail/post but a justification report will have to be downloaded from the portal.

This document consists of various defaults/errors identified by the Income Tax Department (ITD) while processing the statement filed by deductor during a particular quarter of a financial year. It provides detailed information about the defaults/errors that needs to be rectified by deductor by filing correction statement and payment of the necessary interest/fees/other dues. Deductor can also provide clarification for any of the errors identified.
