26 July 2025 Thanks for clarifying that you entered the wrong TAN **while filing the Income Tax Return (ITR), not while filing the TDS return**.

Here’s what you can do to resolve the **TDS credit mismatch** due to wrong TAN mentioned in your ITR:

---

### Problem Recap:

* You filed a **belated ITR** for a company.
* While entering TDS details in the ITR, you wrongly entered a TAN number.
* The actual TDS has been deducted by the correct deductor (with correct TAN), so Form 26AS shows the correct TAN.
* Due to TAN mismatch in the return, the Income Tax Department is not matching the TDS credit, resulting in a **TDS credit mismatch**.
* Return cannot be revised as it is a belated return.

---

### What to do next?

1. **File a Rectification Request under Section 154**

* You can file a rectification application online through the e-filing portal for the mistake (wrong TAN in TDS details).
* The rectification will update the TAN to the correct one and help match the TDS credit.
* This is the usual remedy when the mismatch is due to data entry errors.

2. **Respond to Demand Notice, if any**

* If the department issues a demand for non-matching TDS, you can respond to the notice.
* Upload supporting documents like Form 26AS and Form 16A to prove TDS deducted by the correct TAN.
* Request adjustment or correction.

3. **If Rectification Request is rejected or not accepted**

* You can approach the Assessing Officer with evidence of TDS deduction and request correction.
* You may also file a **revision petition or appeal** if required.

---

### Important Notes:

* Rectification can be filed online anytime within 4 years from the end of the relevant assessment year.
* Since this is for a company and a belated return, make sure the rectification request clearly explains the mistake.
* Keep all relevant documents ready: Form 26AS, TDS certificates, original ITR acknowledgment.

If you want, I can help draft a rectification application or guide you step-by-step on how to file it online. Would you like that?
