29 November 2011 Dear Experts

I want to know that the information of tds deducted of any post office agents is not available in 26AS.

Why is it so??

Kinldy suggest me.

Thanks in advance.

30 November 2011 It happens so in the Govt Departments.
.
You have to request the Post Master to file the TDS return after depositing the TDS amount with the Central-Govt. In case return is already filed by them, request for rectifying the tds returns.

02 December 2011 Please give in writing the correct PAN No of all the deductees who are facing such problems. It will be convenient for the Deductor to handle the issue collectively.

27 July 2025 Hey! About TDS deducted by **Post Office agents not showing in Form 26AS** — here’s why and what can be done:

---

### Why TDS on Post Office payments may not show in 26AS:

* Sometimes **Government departments or their agents** like Post Offices **delay or don’t file TDS returns properly** or on time.
* The TDS return filed may **not be uploaded/processed correctly** in the TDS system.
* Post Office TDS may be reported in a **different manner or consolidated** without individual PAN details, so it doesn't reflect in individual 26AS.
* This is quite common with government entities due to procedural delays or data mismatches.

---

### Will TDS credit be available to deductees?

* If TDS is **not reflected in 26AS**, the deductee may **not get automatic credit** while filing Income Tax Return.
* However, the deductee can still claim the credit by producing the **TDS certificate (Form 16A or 16)** issued by the Post Office or deductor.
* The tax department can verify TDS credit manually during assessment.

---

### How to check or resolve this?

1. Request the **Post Master / deductor** to file or correct the TDS returns properly, with correct PAN and deductee details.
2. Collect all deductee PAN details facing this issue and send a collective request for correction.
3. Deductees can check their TDS certificates directly from Post Office or deductor.
4. Keep these TDS certificates safely and submit them along with the ITR if TDS credit is not reflecting in 26AS.
5. If needed, approach the Income Tax Department or seek rectification through AO after filing return.

---

### Summary:

* Govt departments/Post Offices sometimes don’t report TDS properly.
* This causes TDS not to show in 26AS.
* TDS credit can still be claimed using TDS certificates.
* Deductor needs to file/revise TDS returns correctly for smooth credit.

If you want, I can help you draft a letter to the Post Office or tax authorities to address this collectively. Would you like that?
