Refund application - Different services

[ranganath shenoy]

If a refund application is preferred in which value of services are different from one in the self asessed return filed.Is it permissible ?

[sudhir V S]

There can't be different figures in two statutory return/document submitted to the same authority. If the difference is genuine then better a reconciliation along with the reason of difference may be filed.

AI Summary

Consistency of tax filings required: reconcile differing service values between refund application and self-assessed return or explain variance. Whether a refund application may state service values differing from those in the corresponding self-assessed return is addressed. Submitting inconsistent figures in two statutory documents presented to the same authority is not appropriate; where the variance is genuine, file a reconciliation and explanation to align the refund claim with the return figures.
