If your employer deducted TDS but it is **not reflecting in Form 26AS**, and you have received a notice under section 139(9) (defective return notice) for tax payable, hereโs what you should do:
1. **Check with your employer:**
* Confirm that the TDS was deposited correctly by your employer with the correct PAN and for the correct Assessment Year (AY 13-14). * Sometimes, employers delay or make mistakes in depositing TDS or quoting PAN, which causes mismatch in 26AS.
2. **Get TDS Certificate/Form 16 from employer:**
* This will show the TDS deducted. Cross-check it with your salary and Form 26AS.
3. **If TDS is deposited but not reflected in 26AS:**
* You can file a rectification request with the Income Tax Department or wait for the TDS to get updated in 26AS (sometimes it takes time). * Attach Form 16 with your return to support your claim.
4. **Reply to Notice 139(9):**
* File a revised return after confirming your details and attaching all proofs, including Form 16 and any other documents. * You can also explain the mismatch in your reply to the notice.
5. **If tax is actually payable:**
* Pay the outstanding tax along with interest (if any) and file the return again.
**In short:**
* Verify TDS deposit by employer. * Check if TDS reflects in 26AS later. * Respond to notice with necessary documents or revised return.
