I had earlier submitted the income tax return on 04th December 2009 in which refund claimed was Rs. 9,510/-. A month back it has been found that the TDS certificate of Rs. 9,522/- issued by one of the deductor was not considered in filling the income tax by me. As soon as I noticed the same, I have flied the revised return for the same on 26th July 2010. In revised return i had claimed the total of Rs. 19,030/- as final amount of income tax refund. By the time Central Processing Center process the revised return, original return was processed & Refund order of Rs. 7,890/- was issued to me on 20th August 2010.
Tell me now how can i get balance amount of Refund.

How To Get The Refund You Forgot To Claim ?
There are many circumstances in which a person may forget to claim the credit of tax deducted at source. This is specially true of the cases where a person is either not supposed to file return of income as most of income is exempt , but some kind of TDS has been made or a person is ignorant about claiming refund of TDS/TCS . In all such cases ,it is possible to claim refund by filing condonation petition u/s 119(2)(b) of the I T Act even if such claim was not made in last six years. For example , if you find that you forgot to claim refund for Asst Yr2003-04 , you can file the petition to condone the delay in filing of return and claim of refund to Commissioner or Chief Commissioner or CBDT till 31/3/2010 according to value of refund involved.
