Income Tax Department had issued an advisory on new time limit for filing TDS/TCS correction returns as per Income Tax Act 2025 which reduced time limit to two years from six years.
The Finance Act (No. 2), 2024, has amended Section 200(3) and Section 206C(3B) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (Act of 1961) to put a limit on time limit for submission of TDS/Correction Statements.
