How do I know if my employer deducted more TDS?

Check your Form 26AS on the Income Tax portal and compare it with your salary slip. If the TDS shown in Form 26AS is higher than your actual tax liability, you have excess deduction.

Can I claim a refund for excess TDS?

Yes, you can claim a refund by filing your Income Tax Return (ITR). The excess TDS will be refunded to your bank account.

What is the deadline to claim TDS refund?

You must file your ITR by the due date (usually 31 July) to claim the refund. Late filing may attract penalties, but you can still claim refund within 2-3 years.

How long does it take to get a TDS refund?

After filing ITR, refund is usually processed within 4-6 weeks. In some cases, it may take longer due to verification.

Absolutely! We verify your TDS, file your ITR, and help you claim your refund quickly and hassle-free.
