How to get refund of extra TDS deducted by employer?

[Anonymous]

My employer has deducted extra TDS for income tax from my salary. The amount is at least 15000 more than what should have been deducted. How can I get the refund of this extra TDS? The employer is not willing to return this amount.

You may have to file the Income Tax Return for the relevant financial year / assessment year. You can show the details of the income, including the salary received from your employer, and also the TDS deducted by him. If the IT Return shows that you have paid more tax (including by way of TDS) than what was due from you, then you will get refund from the Income Tax Department. If you file the online IT return, nowadays the IT department is very quick in refunding the extra tax paid by you, if any. It may come to your bank, may be, within a month itself.
