If you have wrongly filled TDS return under the wrong section, you can rectify the mistake by filing a correction statement. You can do this by filing a revised TDS return for the same quarter and financial year. You will need to select the "Original Correction" option in the return filing utility and provide the correct details for the section under which TDS was actually deducted.
The correction statement should be filed within the stipulated time period, which is generally one year from the end of the financial year in which the original return was filed.
If no correction is made, there can be consequences such as penalties or interest levied by the Income Tax Department for incorrect filing. Additionally, the taxpayer may face difficulties in claiming TDS credits or in obtaining refunds if the TDS is not reflected correctly in their Form 26AS or other tax records.
Therefore, it is advisable to rectify the mistake as soon as possible to avoid any future complications.
