I am not sure about such adjustments as it is mention in TDS provisions that TDS has to be deducted AND deposited the same with govt. but since there is no such provision with regard to adjustment so benefit can be taken I request other members to suggest their views thx

From best of my knowledge & practice we follow, TDS earlier deducted in excess may be adjusted in the coming period irrespective of the different quarters. Yes it is correct that even when there left some un-adjusted amount, it can not be settled. the deductee has to claim himself/herself the rest amount while filing his/her return.

Dear Mr Bhatt, While my friends have all stated is true, in case you have not issued TDS Certificates, what you may do is that Deduct TDS from other deductees (if there are any) and show that Deposit (Rs 5000) against those deductions. Submit revised quarterly returns for that quarter / Quarters and issue TDS accordingly. It should not happen that you issued TDS certificates and then revise returns to negate those Certificates. This is done by alll bulk TDS Depositors. Yes, in case you do not have other dedcutees, then what my Other Cooligues stated is true.
