Dear Mr. Agarwal,
TDS deducted and deposited can not be claimed as refund by the deductor. The deductee can only claim the TDS as tax paid against its tax liability.
As the party has agreed to refund the amount paid twice net of TDS, you should try to convince him that the amount of TDS has already been deposited in his account and the benefit of that TDS can be claimed by him only. Provide him TDS Certificate against the sum deposited and get the refund of TDS amount also from the Party.
Thanks

One of my clients has paid for same bill to some party twice from two of
his group companies and deducted the TDS twice and also deposited the
same. Now they have got to know that, the bill has been paid twice. They
communicated with the party, the party is agreed to refund the one bill
amount less the TDS on it. So now can anyone suggest me that what will be
the appropriate treatment on these circumstances?
Whether they can claim the refund for the TDS amount.
Thanks & Regards;
R. Agarwal.

While filing the Quarterly Return, deductee's details including PAN no
will have to be mentioned so that deductee can view online Form 26AS
about TDS details. So if return is not filed , deductor can adjust TDS
from one head to other head and necessary accounting entry can be
passed.
If return is once filed one practical approach is that deductee can be
requested to accept excess TDS amount agaist TDS certifcate issued
for the excess amount. . Otherwise TDS return can be revised by the
deductor.
