Compare the TDS schedule in the intimation with your claim to see which deductor's credit was denied, here ₹26,000. Get that deductor to correct the statement. Then file rectification for tax credit mismatch under Sec 154 (now Sec 287). The balance refund is paid with interest as per Sec 244A once rectification is processed.
