My query is our company has deposited Rs. 2lac TDS u/s 195 in FY 2013-14 for outward remittance. But before remittance invoice got cancelled,Out of this Rs.22k TDS amount is adjusted against some other party invoice now there is excess deposit of Rs. 1.72 lac . when we contacted TRACES center earlier they told that currently TDS refund facility is disabled so you can claim amount when it is enable. But when for long time this facility is not enabled we contacted them again now their reply is u can claim/adjust this challan in current FY and against any section.
I want to know is this correct , if yes is there any notification or rule regarding same.

Good news for all deductors ,Tin-NSDL has released New FVU 4 which is mandatory wef 01.10.2013.In New FVU version 4.0 new validations has been added .However a new validation provided under this FVU 4 is beneficial for deductor, under which Deductor can also insert challan deposited in immediate previous financial year .
Suppose you are filing e-tds return for financial year 2013-14 ,then you can also enter challan deposited in immediate previous financial year i.e FY 2012-13 .All challans deposited after 01.04.2012 can be entered in etds returns filed /to be filed in Fy 2013-14.
No Backing up of new changes by Income Tax rules/Act :This is major relief for deductors as getting refund from income tax authorities is like putting toothpaste back in tube.This amendment has been done without any changes in Income tax rules/Act so has no legal backing, however as it is relief measure assessee can avail without any doubt . But without backing of rules ,department can back track from it.We hope as department intention is clear ,we will see required changes in rules in coming days.
