From this point, the institutions like banks can find out the TDS (Tax deducted at source) at a higher rate of 20% on the interest you have gained on the deposits. As you had furnished TDS upon the interest income you need to get it managed for your overall tax liability. Indeed if the tax cut was more than your tax liability then you can avail of the refund. The assessee shall need to show pre-tax or gross, ITR and the credit for the tax furnished shall need to be taken separately.
But you might face hardships in availing of the TDS credit as it will not get shown on your Form 26AS as you shall not file your PAN through your bank. The TDS return furnished through the bank shall mention, “PAN not available”.
Tax expert stated that "Any person deducting TDS, including banks, needs to know the PAN (and Tax Account Number or TAN) of the person whose TDS is being withheld and paid. The deductor has to submit a quarterly statement (TDS Returns) of whose TDS has been deducted and paid and quoting the correct PAN/TAN of all such persons."
Moreover, he said "The income-tax system then collates all the information from all the TDS Returns filed and credits TDS based on the PAN details provided. Now, if the banks do not have your PAN, or have incorrect PAN, although they will deduct TDS and pay it, the TDS Return will not show your correct PAN, and therefore the system will not be updated with that TDS credit against your PAN," he further explained.
He commented you shall therefore pose a problem availing the credit since the system shall not be upgraded. It is similar to the individual who is furnishing you with the money that has your wrong bank account number. They might try and transfer the money however it does not go into your account.
The only method to avail of the credit is through renewing the true PAN with the bank and urging them to file the TDS returns.
