Ur reply is most valuable - filing it return

What makes you think that it is not a "mistake apparent from record"? In my view omission to claim refund is a "mistake apparent from record". "MISTAKE APPARENT FROM RECORD" means a mistake about which no two views are possible and about which there could be no arguments. When a mistake itself has to be determined on investigation of facts, it cannot be said that there is mistake apparent from record and consequently rectification u/s is not possible. But in your case, i suppose if its just that you omitted to claim refund then you can of course apply u/s 154.

it seems that u have not claimed tds at the time of filing return therefore u can claim it before completion of assessment by lodging it with respective officer ,if u have filed revised return also...

@ abhishek 

You are absolutely right but when i tried to rectify it u/s 154 - I GOT A REPLY FROM DEPT. THAT IT IS NOT MISTAKE APPARENT FROM RECORD & YOU CANNOT RECTIFY IT U/S 154.
