14 June 2012 Dear All,

We received a refund of Rs.20 Lacs for A.Y. 2010-11 on 13/4/11 i.e. for the F.Y. 09-10.

on 01/05/2012, we come to know that we came to know that we claimed TDS receivable lesser by Rs.3 lacs & on 07/05/2012 we again came to know that Incometax department has considered TDS receivable lesser by. Rs. 5 lacs.

Please advice can we go for section 154 & claim Rs. 8 lacs TDS receivable.

14 June 2012 You can apply for rectification only for Rs. 5 lakh. Claim of TDS not allowed by the department.

You CANNOT apply for rectification for Rs. lakhs which you forgot to claim.

This is so because rectification is for mistake apparent from record.

If an assessee has failed to make a claim, he cannot file rectification application becuase it does not amount to mistake apparent from record.

It amounts to making fresh claims which is not allowed u/s 154.

TDS which we forgot to claim is there in 26AS statement. So can we considered it as a mistake apparent from record????

15 June 2012 I am of the opinion that it amounts to fresh claim.

However, file a rectification application claiming credit of whole Rs. 5 lakhs.

Let the department process the rectification application.

Then the future course of action can be decided.
