If your reported income in your Income Tax Return (ITR) is higher than what appears in your AIS/TIS, don't worry. This often happens when certain income sources, like post office interest, aren't immediately reflected in the AIS/TIS database. It is your responsibility as the taxpayer to declare all income accurately, and reporting more than what's shown in AIS/TIS is the correct and compliant approach. This will not cause issues with your ITR processing or delay your refund.

Reporting actual income that is missing from the AIS/TIS (such as Post Office interest) is the correct and compliant practice. It will not cause problems or delays in ITR processing or the issuance of a refund, as the tax department is primarily concerned with ensuring no income is hidden or under-reported.

AIS/ TIS is based of the database updated by various agencies like NSDL/ banks, etc. So, many a times various department update their information late or do not update it. So, it is the responsibility of the assessee to ensure that he reports all his income.
Thus, it is not expected to be questioned if you report more than what appears in AIS.
