TDS - Form 26AS Transaction Date & Date of Booking in different financial years

I had applied for my Provident Fund withdrawal in January 2018. The request was accepted  & tax was deducted for this transaction. In Form-26AS, the TRANSACTION DATE was 29th March, 2018 while the BOOKING DATE was 31st May, 2018. Since the booking date was in different financial year, I am trying to file my return for the year 2019-20 instead of 2018-19. But IT department declined my refund in ITR with the reason that "this transaction is not available in Form 26AS for the year 2019-20". How should I proceed? Please suggest. Thanks!

Quick Summary
In Form 26AS, TDS credit is allowed in the Assessment Year shown in the statement, not based on transaction or booking date. PF withdrawal TDS must be claimed in AY 2018-19 as per 26AS. If wrongly filed in another AY, rectification under section 154 is required.

T-FV-4322 Valid Date on which tax Deducted / Collected must be provided. Date prior to relevant quarter is not allowed.

Date is perfect. 

How can i rectify that error? 

TDS available in which year 26AS (AY 2018 - 19 or 2019-20)

Booking date means TDS filing date
@ Mr Mahesh.,

Check out Your Form 26as. It's definitely shown the TDS amount in there. You can claim refund...

The 31/05/19 is TDS return filing date. Don't be worry that date...

FY 2019-20.Second quarter. 

What is Your query Mr Delnaxavier...??

Thanks for your reply! In Form 26AS, TDS entry is present in the assessment year 2018-19 . That's why it is not showing up in the assessment year 2019-20. Should I rectify the ITR of AY 2018-19? Please suggest. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply! In Form 26AS, TDS entry is present under the assessment year 2018-19 . Considering booking date, I didn't file the return for AY 2018-19 . Instead I filed for AY 2019-20 which was rejected as this entry is not available for AY 2019-20 in Form 26AS. Should I rectify the ITR for AY 2018-19 with this TDS entry? Please suggest. Thanks!

I think You made confuse to me... bcoz, your 1st query is FY 18-19. but last question is confusing...

What is showing your form 26as & which year...?

When You withdraw the amount...?

I am sorry for the confusion. In Form 26AS , the TDS entry is present under Assessment Year 2018-19 & the financial year is 2017-18. For this entry, the transaction date is 29th  Mar, 2018 (Financial year is 2017-18) while the Date of Booking is 31st May, 2018 . My query is for the above TDS entry which assessment year should be considered?

@ Mahesh
26AS statement itself shows AY for which it is.

All those TDS entries (amount) need to be claimed in the AY which is mentioned in 26AS
(alongwith corresponding income receipts)

Ignore transaction date /booking date.

As TDS on PF withdrawal appears in AY 2018-2019 statement, you should consider both TDS and PF receipt in AY 2018-2019 and not in 2019-2020.

You may apply for rectification under 154 to claim TDS credit provided you declared PF money receipt in AY 2018-2019.

If PF receipt is not declared in AY 2018-2019 then it will be considered as escapement of income.

Thank you sir for your elaborated response!! I have applied for rectification. Thanks to you once again for the much needed solution!
