Why did i receive communications u/s 143(1) for a.y 2017/18?

So today I have received a communication on proposed adjustments from IT.

The attached PDF mentions that the Income as per return and Income as per Form 16 does not match.

Salary (as per return) - X rs

Salary (as per Form16) - Y rs (X + a)

However when I look back at my Form 16, the salary mentioned is exactly X rs (and not Y). This confuses me a little.

When I made some calculations, I have observed that the value ‘a’ is sum of:

- deduction u/s 24 (home loan interest from Apr16 - Jan17)

- Employee PF

- Repayment House loan(principal paid from Apr16 - Jan17)

These deductions are already considered inside the Form16. But I am not sure why it says that the income on Form is Y, whereas I see X (Same as Form26AS)

Note: For claiming exemption for the home loan repayment for the month of Feb&Mar-17, in my ITR form, I have claimed under “Income from House Property” and 80C.

Please let me know if any more details is required.

Thanks in advance.
