Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the possibility of obtaining a refund for Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) that was incorrectly levied by an employer on leave encashment, which is exempt under Section 10(10AA) of the Income Tax Act. The advice given is to claim the refund directly in your income tax return rather than seeking it from the employer. For past financial years, filing a rectification petition under Section 154 is suggested, with a four-year time limit from the receipt of the order. Condonation of delay may be possible if the incorrect TDS deduction only came to light recently.

Instead of asking for a refund from your employer, simply claim a refund in your income tax return. Filing of a revised TDS return by the employer, being a government agency, is a far fetched thought. Claiming refind in ITR would be simpler. 

Sir,
Case is related to P.Y. 13-14
U can approch till 31march 2020for a.y. 2014-15 for delay condonation

You have to file a rectification petition U/s 154. The time limit for the same is 04 years from the date of receipt of order. Please check the date of receipt of intimation U/s 143(1) by you for knowing the limitation date. Also, if you can prove that the fact of TDS being deducted has come to your knowledge during P.Y. 2019-20, it would be helpful for filing a condonation of delay for filing of 154 petition and the A.O. should consider the fact.
