Yes, the High Court has ruled that you can still get a tax refund if you can provide valid proof, like Form 16A, that tax was deducted, even if it doesn't perfectly match Form 26AS.
The High Court has clarified that the error typically lies with the deductor, either for failing to deposit TDS or filing incorrect returns, not with the taxpayer.
You should appeal to the High Court and provide valid proof, such as Form 16A, bank statements, and interest certificates, to demonstrate that tax was indeed deducted.
Form 26AS is a consolidated tax statement that reflects all TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) and TCS (Tax Collected at Source) transactions made against your PAN.
Form 16A is a TDS certificate issued by the deductor (the person or entity deducting TDS) to the deductee (the person whose tax is deducted), confirming the deduction and deposit of tax.
