Quick Summary
If you're filing your Income Tax Return for the first time for Assessment Year 2020-21, you generally cannot claim TDS from previous years (2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19) unless you filed returns for those years. However, you may be able to claim up to five years of previous TDS, including the current year, if your Assessing Officer approves your application.
