Quick Summary
Filing an updated return (ITR-U) requires an additional tax liability, meaning you cannot claim a refund through this process. If your TDS refund of £8,500 is greater than your tax liability on the updated income, you cannot use ITR-U. To file an updated return, your updated income must result in a net tax payable, even after adjusting your TDS. For refunds from previous years, you should apply under Section 119(2)(b).

Unless there is any additional tax liability, Updated return cannot be filed.

ITR-U can't produce a refund:

• An updated return (Sec 139(8A)) must result in additional tax payable. If you have TDS of Rs 8,500 and the tax liability after including the missed income is lower than the TDS (i.e. a refund), ITR-U can't be filed. TDS can be adjusted against the tax payable in ITR-U, but the result must be a net payable (with additional tax).

• Example: if tax on updated income is Rs 15,000 and TDS is Rs 8,500, payable Rs 6,500 plus additional tax (25–70% of tax and interest). Allowed.

• For refunds of old years, apply under Sec 119(2)(b).
