27 February 2009 We are a contractor. We were given advance from a party which deducted TDS on the advance payment. No billing was made to that party in current year. How shall we claim the TDS, if no income is there. Should the TDS be carried forward for next year and proportionately credit should be taken in the years of billing, like the method that has been discussed in case of Advance rent (Circular No. 5/2001), or is there any other circular u/s 194C. Please clarify the procedure as soon as possible.

27 February 2009 I also got a reply in my personal id that from 1-4-2008 section 199 has amended and as per amendment the tax deducted shall be treated as the tax paid by deductee. So if person deposits excess advance tax (and/or Deposited by deductor on behalf of the deductee) during the financial year, he can claim it as refund.
