TDS Credit Carry forward

This discussion addresses an urgent need to file an Income Tax Return (ITR) for a client requiring past ITRs for a loan application. The primary concern is that TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) credit is not yet reflected in Form 26AS. Options discussed include filing the ITR with manually claimed TDS, potentially leading to a mismatch, or filing as per 26AS and claiming the remaining credit via a revised return later. The possibility of carrying forward excess TDS credit to the next financial year was also explored, with clarification that this is permissible if the TDS is available in 26AS.
