Can excess TDS Paid for last Financial year (FY) can be adjusted against current FY
Many a times we face this difficulty that by misstate excess amount is paid against the TDS liabilities. Most of the users are getting panic in this situation. But you don’t need to worry. In todays article I will share with you the way out for this situation.
There are two ways to deal with it:
1. For Deductor’s convenience, CPC (TDS) has established processing logic in the system that can accept a Single Challan for different assessment year. In case tax has been deposited more than the required tax deducted at source for a particular Assessment Year, the excess amount of tax can be claimed in the following quarters of the relevant year. The balance amount if any, can be carried forward to the next year for claim in the TDS statement.
Example: If excess payment of Tax has been made in Quarter 1 of financial year 2020-21, the same can be used for Quarter 2,3&4 of F.Y. 2020-21 as well as for Q1 to Q4 of F.Y.2021-22. The excess amount of tax paid in Q1 of F.Y.2013-14 can also be used for payment of tax default of Q1 to Q4 of F.Y.2019-20.
2. If after following the process of adjusting challan in next financial year, still partial amount is remaining in this challan, then you can apply for the refund of excess TDS deducted or paid. Or some people who do not wanted to adjust the amount in next year can straight away apply for refund.
Procedure to file refund application in case of TDS:
- Step 1: Login to TRACES website and Go to “Request for Refund” under “Statement Payment Tab“
- Step 2: Go to Refund Checklist and click on “Proceed “
- Step 3: Please select Section code:
- Refund Request for Challan u/s 195
- Refund Request for Challan other than sec. 195
- Select Appropriate reason for raising the Refund Request, Click on “Add Challan” after selecting appropriate reason for raising Refund Request.
- Step 4: Give challan details & if challan pertains to appeal order than enter appeal order number for which deductor wants to claim refund.
- Step 5: Give Bank details to submit refund request.
- Step 6: Verification page: Click on “Proceed” to continue TDS refund request.
- Step 7: Confirmation Page: Click on “Submit Refund Request” to continue TDS refund request.
- Step 8: Select a “Digital Signature” and proceed.
- Step 9: 26B has to be submitted within 14 days to the Assessing officer.
- Step 10: Request will be available under “Track refund Request”.
- Step 11: Under “Track Refund Request” select search “Option “1 or Option 2” to view Refund Status with remarks.

I am not recommending to apply Refund Request. Instead, I recommed to utilise the excess paid / unclaimed TDS challan to utilise for Current FY & upcoming next FY. Meanwhile, few years back, i already completed all the requied formalities in Form 26B duly digitally signed by Deductor and submitted onine successfully. They never refunded. It displays “pending for process” only. We approched nearest TDS section of our JO twice along with the proof of Ack. of 26B. They told that they forwarded the request to TDS, Delhi. That’s all. Till this date, Refund never received. We forgot about it.
I already paid Rs. 130 excess tds in 20-21, i want to utilised this Challan in 22-23 Q1, but Traces shows only last financial year 2021-22 how to add challan?
Excess amount of TDS is remitted to the department than the deducted amount last month 192B? Return not yet filed. Can this excess amount be adjusted in the next month remittance?
Q4 interest if credited to a/c on 3rd April instead of 1st April in the following FY with TDS deducted and the tax deposited on 7th May then can this be treated as Q1 interest (with TDS) of the following FY? If ITR is filed considering Q4 interest and necessary self assessment tax paid then how the interest income shown in Form 26AS in the following FY shall be treated? Note that the Q4 interest income (shown in following year) will attract more tax due to additional interest as well as possible change of tax slab. Please suggest what to do as the bank is not appreciating the issue.

Excess payment discovered after financial year
In case, the detection of such excess amount is made beyond the financial year concerned, such claim can be made to the Assessing Officer (TDS) concerned.
However no claim of refund can be made after two years from the end of financial year in which tax was deductible at source.
I will be filing my personal return in this assessment year…but last time I had paid tax to the government. What I wanted to know is..the amount already paid by me in the last assessment year as tax, can that amount be adjusted with the current tax payable in this assessment year ??
I really need to know this…can you please let me know whether that can be possible…in my id.
Thanks.
I work under central government and my tax is deducted at source. I have availed a home loan from HDFC bank in Apr 2010 which is not reflected in my pay slip. My loan has not been fully reimbursed by the bank as the flat is still under construction. My loan installment is deducted from Axis bank ( Thru ECS). I have a couple of questions here. 1) I want to avail refund on my home loan. Is it possible.
2) Can I avail refund for the year 2010. 3) What is the procedure for the same. 4) what documents will I have to get from the bank from both the banks (HDFC and Axis). I am new to filing taxes.
If excess TDS paid in U/s 194C, adjust can other section in same year 194I or 194H ?
