Quick Summary
Excess TDS paid in a challan can generally be adjusted in subsequent TDS returns or future liabilities. Alternatively, it may be claimed as a refund. However, proper usage depends on TRACES validation, correct assessment year, and compliance with TDS utility rules to avoid errors in return filing.

You can adjust it in next quarter returns
Unutilised Balance in the tds challan can be used in the upcoming months and make short payment to the extent of excess payment in the upcoming months .

But question arises , whether tds payment can be done before deduct?
U can adjust in next month or quarter, as the case may be
Check once from tds utility whether date of tds payment can be prior to tds deduction.

Either You can use such challan in next quarter TDS return or you can claim refund for that challan.
If you consider the tds in next quarter then date payment is prior to the date of deduction . RPU may through error
Same is allowed in TDS returns.
Go to latest RPU and check once
I already do many and no error occured
Date of tds payment can't be prior to deduction..It is a special case and adjustment can only be done through traces for tds demand and it can't be used in regular tds statement
We are doing it regularly as many times client fill wrong assessment year in TDS challan and till date no issue arise.
