TCS 206CQ -Tax collected

My son is salaried and has a TDS by employer about Rs. 7+ lacs, also bank TDS on FD Interest 4+ lacs. Besides the above he travelled 2-3 times outside India (Malaysia, Thailand) incurred a TCS of 3+ lacs as outward foreign remittance/purchase of currency. Remittance u/s LRS Section 206C(1G(a)). Also he paid advance tax for 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters. Kindly advise whether the TCS can be claimed like TDS while filing ITR, It shows a huge refund of 4.8 lacs, is it ok to claim TCS. The TCS reflects in 26-AS and AIS. thanks

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that Tax Collected at Source (TCS) under Section 206C(1G) for outward foreign remittances can be claimed as a credit against your total income tax liability when filing your Income Tax Return (ITR), similar to Tax Deducted at Source (TDS). This TCS is reflected in your Form 26AS and AIS, and claiming it can lead to a refund if the collected amount exceeds your tax dues.

Yes, you can claim TCS just like TDS, let there be refund of any amount,

Thank you sir for your quick response

You are welcome.               

TCS 206CQ in your Form 26AS refers to tax collected at source under Section 206C(1G) on outward foreign remittances above Rs. 7 lakh under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme. The bank or authorized dealer collects this TCS at 20% at the time of remittance (reduced to 0.5% if the remittance is for education funded by loan). You can claim credit for this TCS against your total income tax liability when filing your ITR, so it is not a loss, just an advance tax collection.
