TDS claim should not be greater than Income shown under the relevant Income Head

ExpressITR || Corresponding Income offered as shown for TDS claim should not be greater than Income shown under the relevant Income Head


The income reported for TDS claims should not be less than the income declared under the relevant Income Head while filing the return.

      

Reason for Warning:
This warning message is generated based on discrepancies between the income reported in the software and the TDS details. If TDS receipts are recorded in the Tax Details section but the corresponding income is not reported under the relevant Income Head, the warning will appear.

Examples:
  1. If the TDS receipt is Rs. 100,000 but the income declared under the relevant head is Rs. 0, this warning will appear.
  2. Similarly, if the TDS receipt is Rs. 100,000 but the income declared under the relevant head is Rs. 90,000, this warning will still appear.

Possible Solution:
  1. Ensure that the income declared under the relevant Income Head matches or exceeds the TDS receipts recorded in the Tax Details.
  2. However, in specific cases like Business Professions (under sections 44AD, 44ADA, 44AE), or Capital Gains, it may not be feasible to declare the entire receipt amount as income. In such cases:
    1. Verify that the total receipt declared under the relevant head is consistent with your actual receipts.
    2. Ensure the total receipt is equal to or higher than the TDS receipts in the Tax Details.
    3. If these conditions are met, you can safely ignore the warning message and proceed with filing your return.
Hope this clarifies the issue.
