Tax deducted from cash prize won in competition

Hi all,

 I had won cash prize in a competition on Feb 20, 2013. The prize money was Rs. 40,000 and a tax of 30% (Rs. 6000) was applied on it . So we got only 70% of 40,000. It was said to us we can get back this amount as we are students .

Can someone guide on how to go about this ? I haven't done any tax claims so far .

Also when would be the last date for the same ?

Thank you..

Regards

Umer
