How to claim TDS refund – If TDS is deducted more than the tax liability, then you can claim refund by filing ITR. In ITR filing, you have to provide the name of the bank and its IFSC code. By giving both these information, the Income Tax Department will give you a quick and easy refund. If you do not have taxable income then you have to apply for lower or nil TDS certificate. You can do this work by filling Form 13 under section 197.
You have to submit this form to the TDS deductor. If you are not earning from the interest of the banks, then you will have to give this information under the 15G form. ITR refund is credited to your bank account within 3-6 months of filing ITR. The tax department takes so much time because it has to do e-verification.
