(5) The Assessing Officer before giving credit for the tax deducted at source on the basis of duplicate certificate referred to in sub-rule (4), shall get the payment certified from the Assessing Officer designated in this behalf by the Chief Commissioner or the Commissioner and shall also obtain an Indemnity Bond from the assessee.”

Nowdays even if you issue a duplicate TDS certificate, tax authorities will not accept it as all the returns filed are electronic. So whats the point in issuing the same.

Mr Vishal has already given a comprehensive reply.
However now a days, credit of TDS is available only if the details furnished by tax deductor matches with the claiment on TIN. Hence TDS certificate loses its importance if you have TAN details of deductor and the deductor has filed his TDS return with correct details.
