On how one can appropriate the error in Form 26AS, Aarti Raote, Partner at Deloitte India stated, “Form 26AS has details of income streams like salary, fixed deposit interest, capital gains etc. and taxes withheld thereon. Thus the details in 26AS is done by pulling out the details from tax withholding returns filed by various payers. Incase of any inadvertent erroneous reporting by any payer, the 26AS would reflect incorrect details. The tax payer should always check this information provided in the 26AS and incase of incorrect reporting make a request to that payer to correct this data with appropriate supporting documents. This could be either the employer in case of salary income or the banks for FD interest or any other payer. The payers would verify these details and file a rectified tax withholding return.”

Speaking on commonest error that will happen in your Form 26AS, Sujit Bangar, Founder at Taxbuddy.com stated, “Form 26AS details are updated on quarterly basis. and you can claim only those credits which are reflected in Form 26AS while filing ITR. As a taxpayer, one should regularly check 26AS statement. There are various cases found for mismatch of data available in Form 26AS. Most common error is of not having credit available in form 26 AS. First thing to do is to reach out to your deductor and request for updation in TDS statement filed and if not filed yet, request to file TDS statement at the earliest.”

Sometimes you will have paid taxes like advance tax or self evaluation tax, however similar will not be reflecting in 26AS. This occurs as a consequence of many causes like wrongly entered PAN or AY. Sometimes there may be failure on a part of financial institution to add digitised data to TIN. To appropriate this error, you may write to assessing officer with request to vary in challan. You can use the Challan standing enquiry facility offered at TIN web site to confirm whether or not challan bearing the CIN is uploaded to TIN.

In such cases, you should immediately intimate your deductor to check if there is any mistake in TDS statement filed by your deductor. You can also write to assessing officer intimating this fact and seek intervention to correct it,” Sujit Bangar of Taxbuddy.com concluded.
