I have transferred some shares to my wife. The income from dividends is offered by me u/s 64 for taxation. However I do not get the benefit of TDS made on those dividends. What steps I am required to take to claim the TDS in my return which is shown in her Form 26AS.
In CIT v. Gopal Das Estates & Housing (P) Ltd. (2019) 308 CTR 201 (Delhi)(HC) , property was sold, rent passed on the respective owner-on such passing TDS also deducted by assessee. Held, credit of TDS deducted by original tenant can be claimed by the assessee. In CIT v. Ganesh Narayan Brijlal Ltd. (2017) 244 Taxman 14 /147 DTR 136 /292 CTR 518 (Cal.) (HC) since other co-owners had not availed any tax credit out of TDS on rental income, assessee-company would be entitled to enjoy benefit of tax deducted at source in its entirety. ITO v.
