Normally TDS is to be claimed only in which the income is earned or accounted.
If the assessee has not received the TDS certificates from the deductee , the assessee cannot claim the TDS credit.
In order to claim the TDS credit, you should get it from the dedcutee. If the assessment for the financial year 2006-07 is not completed , till today you can ask the assessing officer to give credit for the same.
