The Chennai ITAT has held in  ITO Versus Shri Anupallavi Finance & Investments that Where tax has been deducted at source and paid to the Central Government and income is assessable over a number of years, credit for tax deducted at source shall be allowed across those years in the same proportion in which the income is assessable to tax.
