If you've filed your Income Tax Return (ITR) but failed to claim your TDS credit, you can rectify the mistake. A rectification under Section 154 of the Income Tax Act allows you to claim TDS amounts that were not initially mentioned in your return. This process can help you secure your refund, and you generally have up to four years to file for rectification due to a tax credit mismatch.

I filed my tax return on December 31, 2022 for AY 2022-23 and failed to report the TDS credit in the appropriate column of the ITR form. Is it possible to claim refund via filing u/s154 rectification or otherwise at earliest.

Yes, Via 154 you can claim amount which is not mentioned in return. Under both situation rectification can be filed under tax credit mismatch and refund can be claimed within 4 years.
