In FY24, my employer didn’t pay a few months’ salary. I filed my ITR in July 2024 and paid TDS from my own pocket; it was processed in Aug 2024.
The company later deposited TDS in Dec 2024, including on the pending salary I hadn’t reported then, creating a mismatch.
I received that salary in FY25 and reported it in the FY25 return.
How can I claim the excess TDS paid in FY24? Can this be done via Form 71?
Yes — Form 71 is exactly the method to claim refund of excess TDS deposited by a deductor in the wrong financial year or against the wrong PAN/section, when you have already filed and processed your ITR for that year.
Your case fits perfectly.
Do we need to file only the form 71 or there is something else need to do after that? I have filed the form 2 years ago and there is no progress even after raising mutiple grievances.
