Refund of DDT - When Return Filed Online

[Asked by Guest]

AY 2011-12

One of our Client has paid Dividend Distribution Tax taking surchage as 10% instead of correct 7.5%. Therefore, there is an excess payment of DDT of 2.5%. However, the return was filed online. There is no column for claiming refund of DDT in the return of income.

How to claim refund of excess DDT paid.

Thank you
