Certain provisions of TDS (including TCS) require deduction of tax at source at the time of payment or at the time of credit, whichever occurs earlier. Advance payments are also subjected to TDS. Old ITR form did not have any mechanism to carry forward the excess TDS, thus, taxpayers were required to show the entire TDS as a deduction and claim refund of excess TDS. To overcome the issues, the Schedule TDS/TCS in the ITR forms introduced two new columns: (a) Unclaimed TDS/TCS brought forward (i) Financial Year in which deducted/collected (ii) Amount brought forward (b) TDS/TCS being claimed this year from amount brought forward or from TDS/TCS of current financial year. Thus, the portion of TDS credit pertaining to income taxable in the subsequent year can be carried forward to subsequent year and can be claimed in the year in which income is offered to tax.
