If you've filed your income tax return using ITR-4, but your Form 26AS shows TDS deductions under specific sections such as 194IA, 194IC, 194S, or others, your return might be considered defective. This is because ITR-4 doesn't include the necessary schedules to report income related to these TDS sections. You may need to refile using ITR-2 or ITR-3, depending on whether you have business income and how you need to declare capital gains or rental income.
