Salary difference in Form 16 and 26AS

This query is : Resolved 

01 August 2021 I joined the job in May 2020. But, my employer started deducting TDS from salary since Sep 2020. 

Form 26AS is showing the salary amount from Sep 2020 onwards. Even provisional form 16 from TRACES website shows Salary from Sep 2020 only.

But, Form 16 from employer shows salary from May 2020 onwards.

However TDS is same in both the forms.

Which salary amount should I consider while filing ITR? Can I let go of the amount paid to me from May 2020 to Sep 2020.

Because, I think that Income tax dept verifies salary and TDS amount from 26AS only.

Or, do they have access to the form 16 issued by employer too. 

Expert opinion requested.

01 August 2021 File ITR as per form 16 salary from May 2020. Updation of form 26AS taking some time.

01 August 2021 Sir, but provisional Form 16 from TRACES website also showing payment from Sep 2020 only

01 August 2021 It's delay in updation problem, file ITR considering form 16 of employer (May salary).

02 August 2021 You should consider only form 16 and file your return as per form 16
