Tax dept denies Rs 73 lakh TDS credit as taxpayer being unaware did not claim it in ITR; ITAT Mumbai gives relief to taxpayer

The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal Mumbai has ruled in favour of a taxpayer. The tribunal stated that the tax department must provide TDS credit shown in Form 26AS. This decision came after a taxpayer missed claiming Rs 73 lakh TDS due to seller's non-disclosure. The tribunal highlighted the department's statutory and constitutional duty to grant credit, even with procedural errors.
