A user is seeking advice on how to rectify an incorrect TDS deduction by their bank, reported in the subsequent financial year. The bank has added the TDS entry with a later booking date but an earlier transaction date. The user needs to know whether to rectify the previous year's ITR or claim the credit in the current year's ITR, especially when 26AS shows a mismatch and online correction options are limited. The recommended solution involves filing a rectification under section 154 or submitting a corrected ITR offline with the accurate TDS entry.

SBI incorrectly deducted TDS of ~70K as per 194N in FY20-21, after lot of followups and multiple positive/negative entries in 26AS they finally added it in FY22-23 with data of booking of Nov '22 but transaction date is still Jan '21 What's the proper way to get refund for the same?
Should rectify ITR of FY20-21 or I can claim it in this FY's ITR? If I check 'Tax Credit Mismatch' of AY 21-22 It says "Tax Credit Claimed is Fully Matched with Tax Credit available in 26AS".

FY22-23's 26AS doesn't contain it and is not auto-populated in ITR. The entry is present in FY20-21's 26AS with booking date of Nov'22 and transaction date of Jan'21
