2024 (3) TMI 317 - HC - Income TaxCredit of TDS denied - HELD THAT - The documents on record indicate that the total amount deducted as TDS was Rs. 18,53,863/-. Since credit was provided only in respect of Rs. 10,88,863/- and not in respect of the differential amount of Rs. 7,65,000/-, the petitioner is entitled to refund in respect thereof. Hence, the impugned orders are quashed and the respondents are directed to take all necessary steps to refund the sum to the petitioner. This exercise shall be completed within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
Issues involved: Challenge to orders dated 27.03.2021 and 10.07.2023, refund of differential amount u/s TDS credit.
Summary: Issue 1: Challenge to orders dated 27.03.2021 and 10.07.2023 The petitioner challenged an order dated 27.03.2021 and a consequential order dated 10.07.2023. The petitioner sought a refund of the differential amount between Rs. 18,53,863/- and Rs. 10,88,863/-. Issue 2: TDS credit discrepancy The petitioner filed a return of income for assessment year 2020-2021 claiming TDS credit of Rs. 10,88,863/-. However, TDS of Rs. 7,65,000/- deducted by M/s. Richfeel Health and Beauty Private Limited was not initially reflected in Form 26AS. After the entity filed its return, the credit of Rs. 7,65,000/- was reflected in Form 26AS under the petitioner's PAN.

The impugned orders were quashed, and the respondents were directed to refund the said amount within two months from the date of the order. The writ petition was allowed with no order as to costs, and connected miscellaneous petitions were closed.
