Interest credited in FY2025-2026 & TDS therein by EPFO does not reflect in AIS or Form 26AS

This query is : Open

Quick Summary

Many EPFO subscribers are finding that interest credited for FY2024-2025, along with the deducted TDS, is not reflected in their AIS or Form 26AS. Despite raising grievances with EPFO, there's been no response. While you can manually claim this TDS in your Income Tax Return (ITR) using your EPF passbook as proof, be aware that this may trigger a tax demand notice due to the mismatch. You can resolve this by responding to the notice with your passbook or by filing a revised return later. If EPFO corrects the data after the revised return window closes, the TDS might be adjustable in future ITRs.

15 July 2026 Experts /Sir,

Like all EPFO subscribers, EPFO Interest for the FY2024-2025 was credited in July 2025 i.e. in FY2025-2026 (IT AY2026-2027).
EPFO has deducted TDS for the Interest paid. Looks like EPFO has either not remitted the TDS to IT Dept. or have credited it against some other PAN than mine.
Both the Interest paid and TDS deducted does not reflect in my AIS or Form 26AS.

I have raised EPFO grievance and also sent EPFO Commissioner an email, but there is no response.

The only proof I have is the EPF Passbook/Statement downloaded from EPF website which shows Intt. paid and TDS deducted.
While filing ITR for AY2026-2027, is there a way I can claim this TDS without the AIS/Form 26AS reflecting the Intt. paid and TDS deducted ?
Appreciate your expert advice.

15 July 2026 Can you claim it? Yes, you can manually input the EPFO's TAN and the TDS amount into your ITR using your EPF Passbook as evidence.

What will happen? The system will likely generate a Section 143(1) tax demand notice due to the mismatch against Form 26AS.

How to resolve? Respond to the notice on the e-filing portal by disagreeing with the demand and uploading the EPF Passbook as proof of deduction. Alternatively, file a revised return once the EPFO uploads the correct data and it reflects in Form 26AS.

15 July 2026 Thanks Sir for your quick reply.
One more query : If this TDS correction is done very late by EPFO, maybe after the time lapse to file a Revised Return, can this TDS be adjusted in next AY2027-2028 ITRs ?
