Thank you CA Manish for your reply.
Yes I have included the tds in both the carried forward column and brought forward column in the 2015 and 2016 return. (Attached file)
As you can see I have 11 tds entries and hence was asked to upload the X M L again with the choice as others in the "tax payer is correcting Data in Rectification" when I called CPC helpline.
However the Intimation U/s 154 ran through the same assessment order as U/s 143(1) and no credit was given to the tds brought forward.
Hence I am asking the experts here, what am I doing wrong. Please advise.
Thanks in advance for your time and effort.
