I filed the TDS return and later filed a revised return with the correct details. Due to this issue, the challan was frozen. However, we have now got the challan unfrozen.
Now, while applying for the refund through Form 26B on the TRACES portal, the system is showing the maximum refund amount as only 7473 against the total challan amount of 100000.00. We are unable to apply for the full refund.
I would like to understand the following:
Why is TRACES allowing a refund of only 7473 instead of 100000.00?
Is there any minimum refund amount or any other limit for claiming a TDS refund?
Could this problem be due to the original TDS return, revised TDS return, or challan details?
Since the challan has already been unfrozen, is any further correction or action required?
How can we claim the full refund of 100000.00 ?
Has anyone faced a similar issue and successfully received the full refund? If yes, please share the procedure.
I would be grateful for guidance from CAs and tax professionals who have handled similar cases.
Our objective is to claim the full refund of 100000.00 as the TDS was deducted and deposited by mistake.
