one of my client has got wrong credit of tds in his 26AS statement for f.y.2010-11. so, what is the solution of the same?

First confirm with your party whether he has received or has been given such credit by the party as being shown in Form 26AS.
If he is very much clear, forget the credit, and file his return claiming the actual credit for which he is eligible.
The extra credit will find its own shelter, when the real claimant will arise from his sleep.

Yes, you can inform the Income Tax Department about the wrong TDS credit appearing in your client’s Form 26AS. Here’s what you can do:
Steps to handle wrong TDS credit in Form 26AS:
Verify with the deductor (payer):
Confirm whether the deductor has actually deposited and reported this TDS against your client’s PAN. Sometimes, mistakes happen in quoting PAN or other details.
Communicate with deductor:
If the deductor wrongly reported TDS against your client’s PAN, request them to file a correction statement (TDS correction statement, also called Form 26Q/27Q correction) with the correct PAN and details. This is the proper way to remove the wrong credit.
File your Income Tax Return (ITR) correctly:
While filing your client’s ITR, claim credit only for the correct and verifiable TDS. Do not claim credit for the wrong TDS shown in 26AS.
Intimate the Income Tax Department:
Write a letter to the Assessing Officer (AO) explaining that there is wrong TDS credit shown in Form 26AS for the assessment year.
Submit evidence (like communication with deductor) showing that this TDS does not belong to your client.
You can also raise the issue through the e-filing portal by submitting an online grievance under the ‘Rectification’ or ‘Grievance’ section explaining the wrong credit.
Wait for rectification:
The IT department will verify the claim once the deductor files correction statements or after scrutiny.
Summary:
Action Description
Confirm with deductor Check if deductor reported TDS wrongly
Request deductor correction Deductor files TDS correction return
File ITR correctly Claim only valid TDS credit
Inform IT Department Write letter or file grievance online
Wait & follow up Monitor rectification status
If deductor doesn’t correct, IT department will usually reject the wrong credit claim during processing or scrutiny. So, your client should not claim wrong credit and keep correspondence ready.
