My employer has wrongly deducted TDS and paid to the IT department because of a software issue. I understand I can reclaim the amount when I file ITR next july, but I lose the interest in the extra TDS deducted till then.

Is deducting more TDS than required is illegal ?

Can I hold my employer accountable for this ?

You discuss with your employer rather than confronting.

As you said it's a software error and not intentional one.

In so far as interest loss is concerned for extra deduction , you can at best ask to compensate and agree mutually.

Is this a high amount issue ? I don't think so.
