Tds-194j

If a person is earning professional income & his income is below exemption limit, then he should make an declaration to the payet not to deduct tax as his income is below exemption limit.

In your case if the payer has made TDS, then the person receiving the income has to mandatorily file his return to claim the refund of TDS made.  He should obtain the form 16A from the deductor to claim the TDS refund.

Assessee shall apply in Form 13 for non-deduction/lower rate deduction to the Assessing officer, if the assessee income during the year is less than basic exemption limit, based on the application Assessing Officer shall issue a certificate for deduction of tax at such lower rate or no deduction of tax.

Incase TDS is deducted, received Form 16A from the deductor & file the return.

it is possible for that person to claim tds even without filing return.

He can write a letter to assessing office stating the fact that his income is under the basic exemption limit.

and he want to claim his tds return.

If you are availing this option please send this letter via registered post.

Once TDS is deducted, have to file return to claim refund, if any.

If TDS has been deducted then return should be filled to claim refund..

And intimater to deductor not to deduct tds on declaration form as INCOME is below standard exemption.

Agree....

@ A.S.P. - See as your TDS is deducted...to claim such amount it is necessary to file Income Tax return. File your return online to fet the refund quickly.

Now for the coming year...if your income is less than exemption limit or the income where your income tax taxpayable is less than sucn TDS deducted , then you can either apply for No Deduction or Lower Deduction certificate respectively to AO. One thing i would like to mention is making application to AO for Lower deduction or No deduction is on year to year basis. Every year you have to apply.
