The drawing and disbursing officer, shall furnish to the assessing authority not later than the 30th April, a statement relating to the payment of salary made to the Government Servant along with a certificate that the tax payable in respect of the employees for whom they drew during the year immediately preceding has been deducted in accordance with the provisions of the First Schedule to the Act.
