02 April 2018 Sir,

One of my friend is doing servicing of printers and accessories, with a total income of less than Rs. 2,00,000/- per annum,

One of his customer, a company, has deducted TDS, on their payment in the Financial Year 2016 - 17, for which my friend has been served a notice by the Income tax department, asking for his income details.

Unfortunately, he could not file the returns before 31.03.2018.

Now, what is the way out and is there any possibility to get the refund of the TDS amount ? Can he file a manual return ?

What will be the consequences for non-filing of return before 31.03.2018.

Pls, advice.

05 April 2018 you can apply to jurisdictional CIT for condoning the delay in filing of tax return and once the delay is condoned, you can file the return and claim refund
