If one has already filed the IT Return for the current FY, then generally there is no option to claim refund of TDS for current FY in the next financial year separately. The refund is always linked with the ITR of that year.
Where TDS on property sale has already been deducted as per section 194IA, then you should:
1. Ensure that the TDS is being accurately reflected in your Form 26AS/AIS.
2. File ITRs for the respective AY after the end of the financial year.
3. In case the total tax liability is less than the TDS deducted, the balance tax amount will be automatically issued as a refund.
If the TDS is deducted by the buyer in excess amount then practically the seller is not able to directly correct the same. In such cases:
- If the error in the TDS return is clerical, the buyer may correct the same.
- Ensure correct PAN and amount are reported
- Store safety the sale deed, calculation of capital gains and TDS certificate.
Also ask yourself if the capital gains exemption can save you taxes such as:
- 54- purchase of residential house.
- Section 54EC bonds
- Cost benefit for LTCG has been indexed.
It can assist in increasing your tax refund illegality.
