I have done a mistake while submitting TDS for rent using challan 26 QC. I filled challan for 6 months rental period. I filled correct amount for Total Value of Rent Paid but while filling another column Amount Paid/Credited, I mistakenly filled amount corresponding to one month and not for 6 months. However, I have deposited TDS for 6 months. Challan 26QC is now processed and is partially consumed only for 1 month. TDS for remaining 5 months is not consumed.

I submitted challan 26QC correction request and this is now pending with landlord. There is some problem with landlord traces account and not able to login. I don't want to wait and depend upon landlord. Can I resolve this on my own?

There, I want to know if I can use this unconsumed TDS in future for my additional challan 26QC filings? Can I also submit refund request? What is the best way to resolve this? See the attached snapshot with 3 red circles. TDS was deducted with 5% from April to Sep.

Thanks for help in advance.

I understand your concern and the mistake made while submitting TDS for rent using Challan 26QC.

Rectification Process Since you've already submitted a correction request, which is pending with the landlord, you can explore alternative options:

1. _Contact the TDS CPC_: Reach out to the TDS Centralized Processing Cell (CPC) and explain the situation. They might guide you on the next steps or provide a solution.

2. _File a grievance_: Submit a grievance on the TDS CPC website or the Income Tax Department's website, detailing the issue and the steps taken so far.

Utilization of Unconsumed TDS Regarding the unconsumed TDS,

you can: 1. _Use it for future Challan 26QC filings_: Yes, you can utilize the unconsumed TDS for future Challan 26QC filings, as long as it's within the same financial year or subsequent years, subject to the applicable TDS provisions.

2. _Submit a refund request_: You can submit a refund request for the excess TDS deposited, but this might require additional documentation and verification.

Best Course of Action To resolve this issue:

1. _Follow up with the TDS CPC_: Pursue the correction request with the TDS CPC and seek their guidance.

2. _File a grievance_:

Thanks for your information. Indeed helpful. Two more questions.

a. If I want to utilize this unconsumed TDS in future challan 26QC filings, I can do it for this year FY 24-25 as well as for next year FY 25-26. Is that correct?

b. Do I need to provide the unconsumed challan reference number etc. in my future challan 26QC filings somwhere? or will it be automatically taken care of, if I don't make payment in futire challan 26QC? What could be the procedure for that?

Thanks
