You are eligible to receive an income tax refund if you have paid more tax to the government than your actual tax liability. Process to claim a tax refund: In order to claim an income tax refund, it is mandatory to file an ITR. Once the I-T department verifies your ITR and the refund claim made by you, it will communicate the outcome to you. If you have filed ITR electronically, the I-T department will send you an e-mail or an SMS. Refund, if accepted as due, will normally be credited to the bank account you had mentioned for this purpose in your tax return.

ITR forms, whether filed manually or filed electronically, do not require any documents like proof of investment, TDS certificates, etc. However, these documents should be retained by the taxpayer and produced before the tax authorities when demanded in situations like assessment, inquiry, etc.

Form 26AS reflects the details of tax credit in respect of taxes deducted for the taxpayer as per the database of the I-T Department. The tax credit may cover TDS, TCS and tax paid by the taxpayer in other forms like advance tax, self-assessment tax, etc.

The actual amount of TDS and TDS credit in Form 26AS may differ and the TDS credit in the form may be less as compared to the actual TDS. This may happen due to reasons like non-furnishing of TDS details to the I-T Department by the deductor, linking the tax deducted to an incorrect PAN, etc. In such a case, the deductee should approach the deductor and request to take necessary steps to rectify the discrepancy due to above reasons.
