Tax refund of joining bonus clawback

So you mean to say that i will need to apply for the tax refund while filing the AY2024-25 return for FY2023-24? During that i will need to submit the proof? I cannot apply for it adhoc? like anytime this week (i will be doing ITR filing fo FY23-24 in June).

contrary to other opinions expressed here, you cannot adjust this in any of the assessment years. : Income Tax Appellate Tribunal – Chennai, S.S.N.Ravi, Chennai vs Assessee on 6 May 2016 I.T.A. No.933/Mds/2015. Assessment year: 2008-2009 will apply to your case. No reduction in taxable salary is permitted on account of bonus clawback.

So can i file a revised return for previous FY with adjusted amounts? I do have the proofs of returning the said amounts. Or is there any other way of getting the refund? 

you cannot reduce your last year's salary or claim any refund.

Then how is one supposed to get the tax amount refund? is it the case even for where the amount was refunded in the same FY?

unless it reflects in the Form 16 ie salary is reduced in Form 16 itself, you wont be able to claim the refund. 

The bonus was 1.5L. accordingly tax would be 45k.

Can you give more details? tunnel rush
