Claim brought forward TDS

Claim brought forward TDS

If excess TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) has been deducted in a previous financial year and not fully claimed, you can carry it forward and adjust it in the current year—provided the related income is also reported in your return. This helps ensure you receive the correct credit and avoid double taxation.

Important Note: Make sure the income corresponding to the brought forward TDS is included in your return. Otherwise, the TDS credit may not be allowed by the Income Tax Department (ITD).

Steps to Claim Brought Forward TDS

  1. Navigate to File > Add Tax Credits in your tax filing portal.

  2. Click Add Manually and choose the type of tax credit as TDS.

  3. Select the year of the brought forward TDS.

  4. Enter the relevant details, such as TAN, deductor’s name, TDS amount, and other required fields.
