Excess deduction and deposit of TDS

This discussion addresses a common query regarding excess TDS deduction and deposit. If you've mistakenly deducted and deposited a higher TDS rate than legally required (e.g., 10% instead of 7.5% on rent), rest assured. The government typically won't issue a notice in such cases. The deductee will receive credit for the full amount in their Income Tax Return, and since the excess amount has already been deposited, there's generally no issue.
