For A/Y 2008-09, belated return was filed and self assessment tax was paid. TDS was deducted on the income offered for taxation in the above assessment year however the assessee and his then practitioner were unaware of the TDS deduction and didnot claim the TDS.
Now the assessee has reveceived a demand for the above A/Y as the I. T. Authority has by mistake not given credit to the self assessment tax paid by the assessee.
My question is whether the tds deducted earlier can now be claimed as the same is reflected in Form 26AS ?

As per my view TDS can be claimed. But as you have filed belated return you can not file revised return for claiming the TDS. Instead you can ask for rectification or some other means of claiming the TDS.
