21 April 2009 Financial year 2008-09 is , as you know, is over by 31/03/2009. The employer as well as the bankers might have deducted tax also for the said period. In such a situation question of form 13 does not arise. In other words form 13 would have been filed before the close of the financial year and the certificate thereon would have been given to the employer on or before that date to enable then to consider lower rate of deduction. Therefore my answer to the query is file the return and claim refund.
