Urgent! late filing of tds by deductor and mismatch in form 26as

Hello! I have an urgent query that needs to be clarified at the earliest. I had been receiving couple of payments under professional income FY18-19 (as a freelance tuition teacher) from a company (teaching kid of owner of company and payments were made via NEFT and I had to raise personal invoices once every month or two for the same). The strange thing was that the TDS never got deducted and the officials now decided to file that TDS over income of INR 48,000 (TDS=4800) and adjust in this month's fees.

The TDS of 4800 got filed for FY18-19 a week ago and I am afraid that the entry isn't showing in Form 26AS as I have usually noticed that it takes about 3 months to update. Now with deadline almost approaching (31st July), I am almost ready with my preparation of ITR but have been just waiting for form 26AS to show the entry in order to claim the refund.

Please guide me what to do in this case. I cannot afford to lose that TDS because of the deductor's carelessness of filing TDS late.
 

Regards

Rythem
