Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a defective return notice arising from a mismatch between Form 26AS and the filed Income Tax Return (ITR). The user received advance payments for a government construction project, with TDS deducted, but hasn't yet recognised the income or claimed the TDS. Guidance suggests booking labour works on an accrual basis and claiming TDS. The Income Tax Department allows carrying forward TDS to subsequent years or the year of income recognition. To rectify, file a revised ITR, ensuring the TDS schedule correctly reflects carried-forward amounts without claiming TDS on unrecognised income.

Pls rectify the defective return and revert.
Book the labour works accrual basis and claim the TDS...
Considering the practical difficulties , Income Tax Department has given option to carry forward of Tds from previous FY to subsequent years or brought forward of Tds from previous year to the year of income recognition.

So you may work on it
Yes I agreed.
We carry forward the tds and not book any income from business so the intimation received reason below.

The gross receipts shown in Form 26AS are higher than the total of the receipts shown under all heads of income, on which credit for TDS has been claimed, in the return of income filed. Thus, while credit for TDS is being claimed in the return of income, the corresponding receipts are not fully disclosed in the respective income schedules. Hence, the return of income filed is regarded as defective, as per clause (a) of the Explanation under section 139(9).

File Revised ITR under section 139(5) or file under section 139(5) and rectify mistake 

Ensure filling TDS schedule with no TDS claim and carried forward amount appears correctly.

Defective return is dealt in the following way:
1. all items must be filled in the manner as indicated in the return form. if any schedule is not applicable strike as namaste
2. the tax paid on or before the due date of filing of return as per sec 140A.
3. the provision has been amended by the finance ACT.
4. under sec 139(9) return proof accounts, taxes are being considered.
5.defective other than specified defects
