Income tax refund for the income that was returned

Scholarship is exempted income. But you have to go and meet the AO. You have to take a letter from Govt/you dept that you have returned the salary as per rules of Govt and this certificate for income tax purpose only. They should write your full name and address along with PAN No.

If AO rejects then you have got right to go to CIT(appeals). On what grounds they are going to give you money and under what head is the question. You may be asked to file revised return.  

What period did the income pertain to?? The better way (if it is possible ) is to file a Revised Return and claim refund of taxes. The AO would not entertain a letter requesting for refund. He would only act on a revised return of income.

The tax return can be revised for the first two years as well and refund can be claimed. Return can be revised u/s 139(5). 

Regards,

1) Is  assesment done and have you received intimation u/s 143(1)

2) Have you filed the return on or before last date for those respective years.

3) If s.no 1 nad 2 is true then you can approach the CIT/AO asking for permission to file revise return.

4) If you have filed online then file revised return and put greivance under communication with proper explaination. It is quite likely they will send it to Jurisdiction AO. Then you can  explain with letter from your govt organisation that yo have returned the salary.

The Big question is TDS is also Govt money.  Salary in hand  +  Tax deducted from salary is Govt Money.

If you have returned only "salary in hand "  then there is no refund

If you have returned  "Salary in hand + TDS on salary " with int then you can apply for refund.

OK give an application to TDS AO of ur jurisdiction along with certificate from govt that salary was returned. Since it is govt organsation they dont have to file IT return otherwise other organisation have  to  take returned salary as income.

See whether matter cab resolved with TDS AO.
