If the TDS is Below Rs. 5000/- can claim without verification?

Regarding claiming of TDS Tax without verification with Form 26A (statement) from Income Tax Department is valid or not.  On this issue the Income Tax Department has issued instruction vide there instruction No. 1/2012 dated 02.02.2012 and amended by instruction No. 4/2012 dated 25.05.2012.  These instruction is applicable for Assessment Year 2011-12. In these instructions TDS claim can be accepted  for ITR 1-6 where difference between the TDS claim and matching TDS amount reported in Form 26AS data is up to Rs 1,00,000 /- But now these instructions has been amended and amount has been reduced to Rs 5000/- after reducing this amount to Rs 5000/-,it is likely that no body can avail the benefit of these instruction. So we recommend all to please go through your form 16, Form 16A , Challan and Form 26AS before filing your Income Tax return for AY 2012-13 also.
