Can tds deducted under winning prize money section get refunded

This discussion explores whether TDS deducted on prize money winnings can be refunded. The consensus is that even if your total income, including the prize money, falls below the taxable threshold, you generally cannot claim a refund for TDS deducted under the winning prize money section. While filing an Income Tax Return (ITR) is mandatory and the TDS deducted provides credit, a refund is unlikely in this specific scenario.
