sir!!! please tell me the procedure of taking refund online ....
27 July 2025
Got it! You want to get a refund for TDS deposited **under wrong section (280 instead of 281)**, and you’re looking for the **procedure and format** to apply for this refund, preferably online.
---
## ✅ Background:
* **Section 280** = Deposit of Income Tax
* **Section 281** = Deduction of TDS by collector of tax at source (often related to sale of immovable property or others)
Sometimes tax is wrongly deposited under 280 instead of 281, leading to a mismatch.
---
## ✅ How to get TDS Refund for Wrong Deposit?
### Step 1: Identify Wrong Deposit
* Check Form 26AS or TDS challan correction status.
* Confirm that payment is reflected under wrong section (280) instead of the intended 281.
### Step 2: File Application for Refund
You need to apply for refund of the amount deposited under incorrect section.
---
## ✅ Procedure to Apply for Refund:
### A. Application to Assessing Officer (AO)
* Write a **formal letter** addressed to the AO of the jurisdiction where TDS return is filed.
* State:
* Your PAN and TAN details.
* Challan details: Challan number, date, amount, bank name.
* Mention that payment was made under wrong section.
* Request refund of the amount or adjustment towards correct section.
* Attach copy of challan and proof of payment.
### B. Application to Bank (if needed)
* Some banks allow refund or correction requests.
* Provide similar details and request adjustment or refund.
* Usually bank forwards request to Income Tax Department.

```

## ✅ How to Apply Online?

* Upload scanned copies of your application and challan.
* Alternatively, communicate through your Chartered Accountant or Authorized Representative with the department.
---
## ✅ Tips:
* Always keep proof of deposit and acknowledgment.
