14 February 2018 My client had filed his ITR for AY 2015-16 after due date and claimed foreign tax credit in addition to tds on salary in India as per Form 16 issued by the employer in ITR-1.

But the CPC did not given credit of foreign tax credit claimed in ITR-1 which was filed in February 2016, i.e. after due date u/s 139.

What are the options available for getting credit of the same ?

Thanks in Advance.

14 February 2018 He should file an application u/s 154 online as well as off line with the jurisdiction Income Tax Officer. In this application he should explain all the facts and enclose the Form for tax deducted at source in foreign ( Off line only , since no attachment is permitted on line) and then claim refund.

14 February 2018 Rectification application u/s 154 was also filed at CPC but no relief was allowed and demand stands.
I dont know why but i think whether ITR-2 was required to be filed or Form 65 needs to filed before filing of ITR, what may be the reason, but no relief was given in rectification.

22 February 2018 What could be the reason for not allowing foreign tax credit by cpc on filing ITR-1 after due date:
1. Whether ITR-2 was required or
2. Whether ITR needs to filed before due date or
3. Form 65 needs to be filed before filing ITR

I had filed rectification online and also filed grievence online but no relief was allowed.
What could be the way left to get relief.

Thanks in Advance.
