Refund for excess TDS deposited under 26QC

1181 views 2 replies

I have submitted my request for refunding excess TDS deposited under form 26QC on traces portal. I have downloaded the acknowledgement form 26B. I understand that the acknowledgement form 26B needs to sent to Assessing Officer. In my refund status tracker, I can see AO address which is in Mumbai as below:

TDS CIRCLE, THANE QUERESHI MANSION,GOKHALE ROAD,NAUPADA, THANE (WEST),NEAR TEEN HATH NAKA,THANE,Maharashtra-400602

I just want to know if it is sufficient to sign the Form 26B acknowledgement and send it to above address by speed post? 

Also, I don't see any email where I can send pdf copy of signed Form26B. 

What shall I do to complete and send the Form26B to AO to get refund. Pls advise.

To complete and send Form 26B to the Assessing Officer (AO) for a refund of excess TDS deposited:

Steps to Follow 1. *Sign Form 26B*: Sign the downloaded Form 26B acknowledgment.

 2. *Send by Speed Post*: Send the signed Form 26B to the AO address mentioned in the refund status tracker: TDS Circle, Thane.

 3. *Keep Records*: Retain a copy of the signed Form 26B and proof of dispatch (speed post receipt) for future reference.

 Additional Considerations - *No Email ID Specified*: Since no email ID is provided for sending a PDF copy of the signed Form 26B, sending the physical copy by speed post should suffice. -

*Tracking*: Track your speed post to ensure delivery to the AO's office. -

*Refund Processing*: After receiving the signed Form 26B, the AO will process your refund request [2]. By following these steps, you should be able to complete and send Form 26B to the AO for refund processing.

Thank you for your prompt response.

Is only signed Form 26B needed for AO approval? I see that few additional documents were also mentioned while visiting AO office which are as follows:

a. PAN Card  b. Cancelled Cheque c. No Tax Liability certificate from PAN AO.

Now I live in Bengaluru and my PAN AO is in Panvel (I checked it using my PAN details) how can I get no tax liability certificate now. Looks like they have made the whole process very difficult.
