So I have this ITR-3 filed for AY 2025-26 which had a balance of Rs. 30 as per me, however under the column ‘As Computed u/s 143(1)’ it showed zero, and nothing was refunded to me.

Initially I did not notice since its a small amount, however I have been very skeptical of paying TDS/TCS anywhere after that - as I am not sure if they can simply remove it during processing? If you notice in S.No. 12 (ii) and 16, that is where the difference is there after processing. What does this mean exactly, and I do have Mutual fund income but the profits are way less than Rs. 1 lac annually.

This is not to get back Rs. 30, however this will educate me for future and not make any mistakes during filing or even get back my money properly in time.

Hello @ankitdas123

The Income tax department does not issue a refund of less than Rs. 100. That is why in your case a refund of Rs. 30 was not issued by the department even though it was validly shown in the ITR.

Hope this helps !!
