Guidance on Claiming TDS Refunds and Property Transaction TDS Compliance
Taxpayers who miss the Income Tax Return (ITR) filing deadline can still claim Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) refunds by filing belated returns, though certain fees and conditions apply. Examples include NRIs and senior citizens eligible for refunds if TDS exceeds tax liability. A recent tribunal case highlighted the importance of correctly deducting TDS in property transactions, especially when sellers are non-residents, as errors can lead to penalties unless reasonable cause is shown.
