Mr Sanjeev,

In your case, you have received refund of excess DDT only by claiming in the return of income? No other steps were taken ie File a letter to the AO etc...Please Confirm.

Further, while receiving refund, under which section did the AO grant refund ie what did the refund order state. If you can share a copy of the refund order that would be great. vpatel135 at the rate of hotmail.com

Best regards,Vinay
