The HC quashed the impugned orders dated 27.03.2021 and 10.07.2023, directing the respondents to refund Rs. 7,65,000/- to the petitioner due to a TDS credit discrepancy for the assessment year 2020-2021. The court ordered the refund within two months, allowed the writ petition, and closed connected miscellaneous petitions without costs.
Issues involved: Challenge to orders dated 27.03.2021 and 10.07.2023, refund of differential amount u/s TDS credit.
Summary:
Issue 1: Challenge to orders dated 27.03.2021 and 10.07.2023 The petitioner challenged an order dated 27.03.2021 and a consequential order dated 10.07.2023. The petitioner sought a refund of the differential amount between Rs. 18,53,863/- and Rs. 10,88,863/-.
Issue 2: TDS credit discrepancy The petitioner filed a return of income for assessment year 2020-2021 claiming TDS credit of Rs. 10,88,863/-. However, TDS of Rs. 7,65,000/- deducted by M/s. Richfeel Health and Beauty Private Limited was not initially reflected in Form 26AS. After the entity filed its return, the credit of Rs. 7,65,000/- was reflected in Form 26AS under the petitioner's PAN. A rectification petition was filed by the petitioner, which was initially disposed of stating no payment was due, leading to the filing of the present writ petition.
Issue 3: Petitioner's claim for refund The petitioner's counsel highlighted that the total TDS amount for assessment year 2020-2021 was Rs. 18,53,863/-, but the credit given was only Rs. 10,88,863/-. The standing counsel for the respondents agreed that the petitioner was not given credit for the total TDS amount deducted.
Judgment: Considering the discrepancy in TDS credit, the court found that the petitioner was entitled to a refund of Rs. 7,65,000/-, the differential amount not initially credited. The impugned orders were quashed, and the respondents were directed to refund the said amount within two months from the date of the order. The writ petition was allowed with no order as to costs, and connected miscellaneous petitions were closed.
