This discussion clarifies that a deductor cannot directly claim a refund for Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) that was paid in a subsequent financial year, even if the supplier has already filed their tax returns. The deductor must wait for the deductee (the supplier) to claim the refund and then be reimbursed. Furthermore, the deducted TDS amount cannot be applied to other supplier invoices.

Hello All, I have a question on TDS, appreciate your clarification. We have deducted TDS from Supplier's invoices focr previous year's ie. for FY 2018-19 TDS paid in FY 2019-20. Assuming that the Supplier has already filed his IT Returns for FY 2018-19 and paid the required Tax, can I submit a claim for refund of the TDS that was paid? Please explain the process to be followed. Regards

Thank you for the reply, Sir. So I will have to wait for the deductee to claim refund and then pay me back the TDS amount that I have paid. Also this TDS amount cannot be used and applied any other Supplier Invoice, correct.
