Hi CA Club India,
I used to purchase goods from a buyer during Financial Years 2023–24 and 2024–25. The buyer deducted TDS from my payments during those years.

However, the buyer filed his company audit return, income tax audit return, and all pending TDS returns very late—in February 2026 (during Financial Year 2025–26)—for both Financial Years 2023–24 and 2024–25.

On the other hand, I had already filed my Income Tax Returns for Financial Years 2023–24 and 2024–25 within the due dates, but at that time the TDS deducted by the buyer was not reflecting in my Form 26AS/AIS because he had not filed the TDS returns yet.

Now the buyer has issued me TDS certificates (Form 16A) for Financial Years 2023–24 and 2024–25 and is advising me to claim this TDS in my Income Tax Return for Financial Year 2025–26.
My question is:
As per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, am I allowed to claim TDS for Financial Years 2023–24 and 2024–25 in my Income Tax Return for Financial Year 2025–26?

If yes, please explain the relevant provisions, rules, and practical treatment with accounting entries and examples. If not, what is the correct legal course of action available to me?
Thanks & Regards
Deepak

“If an employee’s salary exceeds the basic exemption limit but results in zero tax liability after considering deductions and rebates, is TDS deduction required? Also, should such salary be reported in the employer’s TDS return (Form 24Q)?
For Example : RS.480000 Annual Salary then it should be reported in TDS return filed by employer?
