The TDS Reconciliation Tool helps CA firms and tax practitioners match TDS credit appearing in Form 26AS / AIS (Annual Information Statement) with the TDS as per the books of account and salary/payment records. Mismatches between Form 26AS and ITR often lead to demand notices from the Income Tax Department. This tool helps identify unmatched entries, reconcile differences, and take corrective action before filing the ITR.
Why does my Form 26AS not match my TDS certificates?
Common reasons: the deductor has not filed the TDS return, filed with incorrect PAN, or filed late. Contact the deductor to correct their TDS return (via TRACES).
Can I claim TDS credit that is in my books but not in Form 26AS?
Technically, yes — but the IT Department will raise a demand notice for the mismatch. It is advisable to get the deductor to correct their TDS return before filing your ITR.
How do I correct a TDS mismatch as a deductor?
The deductor should file a TDS correction statement on the TRACES portal. Corrections to PAN, amount, or challan details can be made in the correction statement.
What is AIS (Annual Information Statement)?
AIS is a comprehensive statement issued by the IT Department showing all financial transactions linked to your PAN — including TDS, savings account interest, mutual fund transactions, and more. It is more comprehensive than Form 26AS.
