UNCLAIMED TDS REFUND QUERY
Replies (1)
You cannot normally claim that missed TDS in next year’s return merely because it was not claimed in the earlier year. TDS credit is linked with the year in which the corresponding income is offered. Therefore, if the income was already offered in AY 2024-25, the correct route is to seek correction for AY 2024-25 itself.
Practical steps:
- Check whether the return for AY 2024-25 has already been processed u/s 143(1).
- If processed, file rectification for tax credit mismatch / TDS correction.
- If CPC time limit is over, file rectification before the AO.
- If refund still cannot be claimed through normal route, explore condonation u/s 119(2)(b) for the refund.
Also note: ITR-U is not useful here if it results in higher refund, because updated return cannot increase refund.
