• Can taxed PF withdrawal be refunded if income is below limit

Hi,
I had a small query.My entire income from salary was INR 1lakh as I worked for just 2 months(apr and may) and tax was deducted for INR 812.
Since I had opted for PF withdrawal and my service in the firm was lesser than 5 years, my pf withdrawal got taxed amounting to INR 6858. 
While filling the return, the system is showing refund of total INR 7670(6858+812).Whereas I feel only 812 should be refunded as 6858 is correct basis the PF Withdrawal.The total income is approx 1.76 lakhs including pf and salary which is below the tax limit. 
Am I missing something here in understanding and the system is right in claiming refund of INR 7670?

yes. The amount of TDS is Rs. 7670 and it will be refunded as the total income is below taxable limit including salary and PF.

There is no issue in refund calculation. Since, your income is below taxable limit, you are entitled to get the full refund.
