ICICI Bank / TDS on Fixed Deposits
TDS on FD`s despite submitting Form 15 H

I and my husband have a joint savings account in ICICI Bank, Sector 18 branch in NOIDA. Our a/c number is 003101013767. I also have two Fixed Deposits whose numbers are 003114079416 & 003114293198. On 18 Mar 09, I visited the bank and asked for Form 15 G so that no TDS would be cut on my FD`s. A bank employee, Ms Kaval, gave me Form 15 H instead and asked me to fill it up. She also filled up the FD numbers from the computer record of my a/c in her own handwriting on the Form. I took one copy as a receipt and left.

Around the middle of April I got a bank statement indicating that TDS had been deducted on my FD`s despite submission of Form 15 H!! I approached the bank and asked for a refund. The bank agreed that it was their employee`s fault and promised a refund. Despite numerous complaints and reminders, the bank refuses to credit the amount deducted as TDS. I have also approached the Bank Manager, Mr P . Nayak and he also promised to refund the money but has now resorted to mere harassment to wear me down. I am attaching the correspondence on the subject so far. please help me to recover my money.
