Unclaimed TDS credit

[sathish k]

Hi experts,

My assessee has Professional Income of 10lakhs and TDS credit of Rs.85000 for FY 2020-21 / AY 2021-22. He has not filed return until now due to some medical situation from Covid for him and his family. Now when I tried to raise condonation request but the same is not accessible in the portal.

Im trying to file the Updated return under sec 139 (8A) by offering 10lakhs income under 44ADA and 5lakhs as Gross Total income. so there wont be any tax liability. since refund cannot be claimed U/s 139(8A) I tried to carry forward TDS credit alone to next year.

Now can I File the return u/s 139(8A) by offering only income and carry forward TDS credit and in AY 2022-23 can I claim refund of such TDS without offering gross receipts, since the same is offered in AY 2021-22 itself ?

Kindly help me to claim the refund through the available means and procedure.

Thanks.
