Resp. Sir,
My employer deducted TDS of Rs 23640 . on Salary ( Rs. 449520 ) in FY 2013-14 which I was not got but due to deduction of TDS I was filled ITR indicating gross income of salary which I was not got in that year. This salary I was got in FY 17-18 as arrears . Now I am calming 10E under sec 89 relief .
IN 10 E form in column no. 2 I will write zero income . so whether it is correct ?
But How I will get return of Tax paid of Rs 23640 in years 2013-14 .
Kindly suggest
Hello Sir,
First If your employer deducts TDS, they definitely gave you FORM 16 and you also check the payment made in FORM 26AS, and as per your question if you have not received the amount in your bank account, you won’t need to mention the amount as your gross income. You must file your return and then you will get your TDS deducted back (if the employer deposited in your PAN).
Secondly, You receive that amount in FY 17-18. In Form 10E you have mentioned your actual amount received in FY 2013-14, in column 3, you have to mention the arrear amount you received in FY 2017-18 of FY 13-14.
As far as your tax deduction in the year 2013-14 by your employer. You have to make sure that your employer deposited the amount in your PAN.
And you can not revise your ITR for FY 2013-14.
You must write to the Tax department.
🙂
