Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a defective tax return for FY 23-24 concerning salary income and arrears. The core issue involves discrepancies between income declared, TDS credit claimed, and figures in Form 26AS, particularly when Form 10E wasn't issued. Guidance is provided on correcting the defect by filing a revised return, either by declaring all receipts as per Form 26AS or claiming TDS proportionately, as per Rule 37BA. It clarifies that a revised return (u/s 139(5)) can be filed after responding to a defective notice (u/s 139(9)).

If the receipts as per Form 26AS is not offered in the year in which the TDS credit is claimed, then the claim of TDS will be restricted on the basis of proportion of the receipts offered in the return of income to the receipts in Form 26AS, as per Rule 37BA of the IT Rules.
