Quick Summary
If your Income Tax Return (ITR) has been flagged as defective due to discrepancies between your claimed TDS and the receipts shown in Form 26AS, you may need to adjust your claim. This often happens if the full income associated with the TDS hasn't been offered for assessment. You can rectify this by filing a corrected return, either declaring all receipts or claiming TDS proportionately. If you're unsure, seeking professional help is recommended.

You need to recheck your claim of TDS in ITR. You have claimed TDS to full value, but not offered relevant income for assessment.

Rectify immediately or accept the defect.

I have filled all income..and recheck gain income show as per 26As

Whether the income as per TDS column against the TDS claimed is offered for assessment?

Is yes, then the defect would not have arise. 

In case you cannot find the difference, take help of any local professional.

 

TDS credit follows the income:

• Rule 37BA(3): TDS credit is given for the year in which the related income is offered. If you claim TDS shown in 26AS but don't show the matching receipts, CPC issues a 139(9) defect notice.

• Fix it in one of two ways:

(a) offer the gross receipts that the TDS relates to (business or other income), or

(b) if the income belongs to a later year (e.g. an advance, or a work-in-progress bill), claim only the TDS on receipts offered this year. Show the rest in Schedule TDS as "carried forward / to be claimed in subsequent years".

• Reply to the notice within 15 days with a corrected return. Otherwise the return is treated as invalid.
