I am a salaried person working in govt school. I filed my income tax return before due date 31st aug 2015 for AY 2015-16. But i claimed higher tax credit than actual since on the date of filing my return, my 26 AS was showing the more tax credit. Therefore i filed my return according to form 26 AS. But when i checked 26 AS in the next month after filing, it was showing the less tax credit. I was about to file the revise return but mean while i got excess refund in my bank account based on my original return. Now the income tax portal is also showing the tax credit mismatch. Please suggest me the next course of action and means of returning the excess refund. Also tell me the rate of interest which can be applied on excess refund received.
