Quick Summary

This discussion addresses how to claim TDS deducted on a joining bonus paid in FY19-20 (AY20-21) when the bonus was subsequently returned in FY20-21 (AY21-22). The user filed their AY20-21 ITR and has zero tax liability for AY21-22. Advice suggests that a refund for the previous year's TDS cannot be claimed directly. Instead, the income should be reduced by the recovery amount in the current year to pay less tax. However, with zero tax liability in AY21-22, adjusting the TDS against gross income offers no benefit, leaving no alternative for claiming the TDS.

Please advise how can i claim that TDS paid on bonus (which technically I don't have) and claim of refund or ajustment in current year ITR return AY 21-22?

Thanks,
Danish
