22 May 2023 When a sale of property is cancelled for which an advance amount was already given and the TDS corresponding to that amount also paid, should the 26QB be corrected first before applying for the TDS refund?

22 May 2023 Or is it enough that the challan for which the TDS refund is claimed remains Unclaimed or Matched?

22 May 2023 If already 26QB had been filed, without correcting that, can I claim Refund? Or correcting my 26QB and making the total property value as Rs. 0 (since the deal is cancelled) is mandatory? Should I submit the corrected 26QB to the Income Tax Department along with the other supporting documents for Refund?
