While making E-Payment, Excess TDS u/s 194I paid in Feb.'09 due to technical error. My query is - can I adjust this excess amount of Rs.15 lacs against TDS payments U/s 194C or J in the next month? - Can I claim refund of the balance amount if remain unadjusted, while filing Quarterly TDS return?
Excess TDS adjustment: excess withholding should be declared in the TDS return and claimed as a refund if not adjustable. Excess tax deducted at source from an erroneous e-payment should be declared in the TDS return and the excess can be recovered by claiming a refund; the reply notes the refund route is available but procedurally detailed and does not confirm automatic adjustment across withholding heads in subsequent months.
