Greetings

Kindly guide if I claim TDS immediately after builder has deducted or do I have to wait till end of FY to file return.

Will I get refund of total TDS deducted by the builder?

Thank you.
Sincere Regard

07 February 2026 TDS deducted by builder can be claimed only after the financial year ends by filing your income tax return. Refund depends on whether hardship compensation and corpus are taxable in your case. If your final tax liability is lower than TDS deducted, the excess will be refunded.
