The return is not correct. The contractor has to show gross income (Rs. 10 lacs + TDS) and claim expenses of Rs. 5 lacs. If TDS is X amount, the return should show income at Rs 10 lacs + TDS - Rs.3 lacs. Then only he can claim credit for TDS amount of X.

If he is a civil contractor than he does not need to maintain books of a/c s and pay taxes at a presumptive rate of 8% of his gross receipts u/s 44AD.

If he is not so then he shud maintain books of account u/s 44AA as his gross receipts is more than 10lacs and so his IT return is wrong.And also he shud include TDS amount in his gross receipts.
