Why reconcile Form 16 with 26AS?
Form 26AS is the IT department's record of every rupee deducted against your PAN. If your employer issued Form 16 saying ₹1.2 lakh TDS but only ₹1.0 lakh shows in 26AS, the IT system thinks you have outstanding tax of ₹20k — even though you actually paid it. This mismatch generates notices. Always cross-check before filing.
Common 26AS sections
- Part A: TDS on salary (your Form 16 employers)
- Part A1: TDS on salary for senior citizens / Form 15G/15H
- Part B: TDS other than salary (interest, dividends, rent over ₹50k/mo, professional fees)
- Part C: Tax paid (advance, self-assessment)
- Part D: Refunds received
- Part E: SFT high-value transactions reported by banks
FAQ
What is the difference between Form 26AS and AIS?
Form 26AS shows only TDS / TCS / advance tax. AIS (Annual Information Statement) is a superset — it includes 26AS plus reported financial transactions (SFT): high-value bank deposits, mutual fund purchases, dividends, share trades, foreign remittances. File ITR based on AIS, not just 26AS.
Why does my Form 16 show ₹1,20,000 TDS but 26AS only shows ₹1,00,000?
Employer issued Form 16 before depositing the last quarter's TDS to government. Check 26AS again after 15 June (Q4 deposits credit by then). If gap persists, escalate via the employer's payroll team or file a TRACES grievance — never file ITR with this mismatch unfixed.
Is it safe to upload Form 26AS PDF here?
Yes — parsing happens entirely in your browser via pdf.js. No file, text, or extracted data is sent to any server. Close the tab and the data is gone. You can verify by opening DevTools → Network and re-uploading.
How do I download Form 26AS officially?
Log into the income-tax e-filing portal → e-File → Income Tax Returns → View Form 26AS → opens TRACES → Select Assessment Year → Download as PDF. Password: PAN in lowercase + DOB in DDMMYYYY (e.g. abcde1234f04081988).
When should I check Form 26AS?
At minimum: before filing ITR (June–July), and once a quarter if you have multiple income sources (rent, dividends, FD interest). Catching TDS mismatches early avoids notices later.
