Hi,
I was paid a bonus amount of Rs.1,40,000 by my company in Jan'17, out of which 30%(Rs.42,000) was deducted as TDS. Since I left the company within a year of receiving the bonus, I had to return the entire pre-tax bonus amount of Rs.1,40,000. In this FY, however, I only worked for 3 months due to which my salary is below the taxable limit, so deducting the 1,40,000 from my gross income doesn't make any difference to the taxes I have to pay(which is 0). Is there any way that I can claim back the Rs.42,000 I paid in taxes last year, since I returned that entire amount this year? Can I file a revised return for last year to get that amount refunded?
Request you to advise me on this.
Thanks!
