Rectification of minor error in TDS schedule of ITR 2 entry, resulting in rejection of TDS refund

Due to a typing error of just one alphabet in the TAN of a TDS deductor, while  filling in ITR 2 (AY 2021-22), the refund claimed on this TDS amount has been rejected in the Sec 143(1) intimation, as a 'mismatch'. However, the TDS entry appears in Form 26AS but was not shown in the pre-filled ITR, due to which it had to be manually entered on the ITR, resulting in this error.

As the rectification procedure for AY 2021-22 is not yet made available, is it necessary to send a grievance or adopt any other method to correct the typing error and claim the rejected TDS refund?

Thank you for your guidance.

Quick Summary
A taxpayer made a minor typing error in a deductor's TAN when filing ITR 2 for AY 2021-22, leading to a TDS refund rejection due to a mismatch. Although the TDS appears in Form 26AS, it wasn't pre-filled, necessitating manual entry and causing the error. The taxpayer is seeking guidance on rectifying this error and claiming the refund, as the standard rectification option for tax credit mismatches and revised returns are currently unavailable or not permitted on the portal.

Either you can wait till the rectification option made available or you can file revised return quoting correct Tan
Kindly check rectification option is already available in services menu.

Sir, the rectification option is not yet available for 'Tax Credit Mismatch' cases. Kindly see the following wording from the Tax Filing portal:

"Rectification is available only for orders passed by CPC under Section 143(1) read with Section 154 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and not for other orders passed by Assessing Officers including Appellate Orders. User will be able to submit all the rectification request types other than Tax Credit Mismatch."

 

Further, the Portal does not permit filing a Revised Return.

From the Help section 5.2 of the I-T Dept. (https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/help/how-to-perform-rectification), it would seem that there is a provision to download the schedules for correcting Tax Credit Mismatch cases, but this provision has not been made available on the Portal as at present.

Request you to please advise on what to do to rectify the TAN no. error. It appears that it is not possible at present to make a correction in the TAN of a deductor in the already filed ITR2.

Thank you.

yes i tried today missmatch  tds correction not accepting showing error at submission

Mr J Chugani

The Rectification process for TDS mismatch was activated in the portal around 9th June, 2022. I submitted the request for rectification (for AY 2021-22) on 11th June, 2022. This request has not yet been processed. I understand that the I-T Dept. has a time limit of 6 months to process tax credit mismatch requests.
