Court ordered 11 June 2018, to give interest as compensation along with refund of the capital for a delayed flat. Builder deducted the TDS on the interest component illegally and has deposited it with the tax department. Deposit was made in last financial year 18-19 to the tax department. Which is fastest way to get the refund? 1. Appeal in the same case (refunds were given in October last year) in NCDRC for builder to refund the TDS amount and then builder can claim it from IT, OR file a fresh case in NCDRC for a refund from the builder giving reference of the our judgment, and earlier judgment of Hon' Shyam Sunder, Chandigarh on this issue, or any other way which is faster, since my CA tells me that the process of getting refund from IT will take not less than 2 years and also that we will need a judgment from high court or supreme court towards the issue that compensation ordered by the Hon' Court is not an income, so it will not attract tax.

File application in NCRDC to direct builder to refund  TDS deducted  on compensation paid as per court orders

Move an application in your case itself, it possible seeking refund of TDS illegally deducted by the builder.

Wenever any amount is paid by the Opposite Party as compensation for mental harassment and agony and/or failure of public duty upon the direction of the Consumer Fora, there arises no question of deduction of any TDS, notwithstanding the fact that the compensation awarded is termed and/or quantified as interest and any such payment does not fall within the ambit of section 194A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 read with Section 2(28A) of the same Act. The interest awarded to you on your case by NCDRC is no exception.

Court generally does not issue such certificate. All you need to do is file claim for Return Of TDS stating the all facts and circumstances and  establishing that the compensation was for loss and injury not being an income receipt. 

If tax authorities does not entertain your claim and logic and arguments you can challenge the same in tribunal and go further to High Court.

1. You can file execution case in the NCDCR in the same case to claim the full refund. There is no need to file a fresh case.

2. No judgement is required to file such execution case and claim the full refund.

No execution petition is not maintainable once the order is executed. TDS is deposited only on the interest component and same is taxable.

Meet the NCDRC office to know the format. Else engage an advocate who would draft the same and file it.

In my opinion, you may have to claim refund from IT department directly because the NCDRC may not interfere in this.

However if your advocate states that you can file another case before the same court seeking direction to the builder to refund the TDS , you may file it and may have to run for this for another year.

No case is maintainable as desired by you.

It was his right to prefer an appeal before supreme court hence that cannot be quoted as a reason for deduction of TDS.

You can claim refund based on the same judgment from IT department instead of filing a fresh case before the same court.

Now a days refund of income tax paid in excess is done very soon and not like what your CA told
