Claiming Your 194-O TDS Back

Because 194-O TDS sits as a credit against your PAN, you get it back by filing your income tax return — provided you don't ignore it. Check it in your Form 26AS/AIS, reconcile it against Meesho's TDS report, and claim it while filing. Left unclaimed, it's simply money handed to the tax department.
