TDS Data not filled in ITR of 2016- 17 AY

Hi

An assessee is a govt contractor. He did some job for post office during FY 2015-16.

At the time of ITR filing of relevant AY there was no data of TDS in 26AS. He offered full income in ITR but not filled TDS data as that was not available in 26AS.

Now 26AS of AY 2016-17 is showing TDS data. 

Now he wants refund of said TDS amount. 

What is the procedure of claiming refund?

Quick Summary
A government contractor filed their AY 2016-17 Income Tax Return (ITR) without claiming TDS as the data was not available in their 26AS statement. Now that the TDS data has appeared in the 26AS for AY 2016-17, the assessee wishes to claim a refund. The discussion explores the possibility and procedure for claiming this TDS refund, including the option of rectification.

can he claim tds in the relevant assesment year?
what was his income?
Try rectification option:

Rectification for Tds mismatch only
Why you didn't claim TDS in ITR ? True that it's not in 26AS but that doesn't stop you from claiming in ITR.

As you already considered corresponding income (hopfully Gross income) in ITR, that's better and no issues

You go for rectification route under 154 and there also you are not sure to get refund as rectification can be done of anything which is there in ITR and not otherwise.

It looks not an easier path for getting back TDS refund. Best wishes !!!!
