Check Your Form 26AS TDS, TCS & Tax Credit Information Accurately

Form 26AS is the Annual Tax Statement linked to your PAN, available through the Income Tax e-Filing / TRACES ecosystem. For current years it primarily shows TDS and TCS-related information — not a complete income statement.

We review your Form 26AS, verify PAN details, reconcile it with your AIS, Form 16 and Form 16A, and help you identify and resolve TDS/TCS mismatches before you file your return.

Overview

What Is Form 26AS & Why It Matters?

Form 26AS is the Annual Tax Statement associated with a taxpayer's PAN, available through the Income Tax e-Filing / TRACES ecosystem. It is primarily used to review TDS and TCS-related information reported against the PAN, and is especially useful while preparing and verifying an Income Tax Return.

Not a Complete Income Statement

Form 26AS should never be treated as a full record of every transaction or income — it should be read alongside AIS and your own records.

TDS/TCS Focus for Current Years

From AY 2023-24 onwards, Form 26AS on TRACES primarily displays TDS/TCS data, while broader information sits in AIS.

Linked to Your PAN

All entries in Form 26AS are tied to PAN accuracy — an incorrect PAN reported by a deductor can create a tax-credit mismatch.

Clear Expectations

What Form 26AS Does Not Mean

Form 26AS is an important tax-credit reference, but it has clear limits that taxpayers should keep in mind.

Form 26AS does not mean this is a complete statement of your income

A matching entry does not mean every SFT or broader transaction is reflected here

Form 26AS does not itself calculate your final tax refund or liability

TDS shown here does not mean it is the same thing as your taxable income

Missing TDS in Form 26AS does not mean the credit can simply be assumed

Reviewing Form 26AS alone does not remove the need to also check AIS

Review Journey

How Form 26AS Review & Reconciliation Works

From viewing the statement to a fully reconciled, correction-ready tax-credit position.

Form 26AS Access

Statement viewed through the Income Tax e-Filing portal for the applicable financial year.

PAN & Period Verification

PAN and the selected financial year are checked before reviewing TDS/TCS entries.

TDS & TCS Review

All available TDS and TCS entries are checked against your own records and certificates.

AIS & Certificate Comparison

Form 26AS compared with AIS, Form 16 and Form 16A for consistency.

Difference Analysis

Any missing, incorrect or duplicate entries are identified and documented.

Deductor Follow-Up & Recheck

The Review Process

How We Help With Form 26AS

From accessing the statement to a reconciled, correction-ready tax-credit position.

PAN & Period Verification

PAN and the applicable financial year are confirmed before reviewing the statement.

TDS/TCS Review

All available TDS and TCS entries are checked against certificates and payment records.

AIS & Certificate Comparison

Form 26AS is cross-checked against AIS, Form 16 and Form 16A for consistency.

Mismatch Report & Follow-Up

A difference report is prepared and follow-up with the deductor is coordinated where required.

Documents & Information

What You Should Keep Ready

Form 26AS itself is an online statement, but for reconciliation the following are commonly relevant:

PAN

Form 16

Form 16A

AIS

Tax Payment Challans

Bank Statements / Books

For business or professional income, invoices, customer ledgers and TDS/TCS certificates from each deductor are additionally relevant. Only records for the applicable financial year should be used — organised, reconciled data reviews faster than scattered records.

Clear Distinction

Form 26AS vs AIS

These cover different scopes of information — knowing the difference helps you review both correctly before filing.

Aspect	Form 26AS	AIS
What It Means	Annual Tax Statement linked to PAN	Annual Information Statement — broader taxpayer view
Main Coverage	TDS and TCS-related information	TDS, TCS, SFT, tax payments, demand/refund and more
Accessed Via	e-Filing portal / TRACES	e-Filing portal — AIS section
Feedback Facility	Not the same AIS feedback functionality	Taxpayer can submit feedback on reported entries

Since AY 2023-24, Form 26AS on TRACES primarily shows TDS/TCS data — broader reported information should be reviewed through AIS as well.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers before you rely on your Form 26AS.

Form 26AS is the Annual Tax Statement associated with a taxpayer's PAN and currently primarily displays TDS/TCS-related information.

No. It should not be treated as a complete income statement — it primarily shows TDS/TCS entries reported against your PAN.

Form 26AS currently focuses on TDS/TCS information, while AIS contains broader reported information such as SFT, tax payments, demand/refund and other data.

It is an important tax-credit reference, particularly for checking TDS/TCS, but taxpayers should use complete records and also review AIS where applicable.

Check the TDS certificate, PAN and financial year, then contact the deductor for correction where required through the prescribed process.

Investigate the mismatch and contact the employer/TDS deductor where employer-side correction is required.

The taxpayer generally cannot directly edit the underlying TDS/TCS information — correction has to be made by the relevant deductor/collector through the prescribed process.

No, it is not a complete capital-gains or bank-transaction statement. These should be reviewed from your own records and, where applicable, AIS.

Yes. Because AIS contains broader information than current Form 26AS, taxpayers should review both before filing their return.

Don't Let a Form 26AS Mismatch Turn Into a Tax-Credit Problem.

Review your Form 26AS against AIS and your certificates now — before you file your return.
