Mismatch in Annual Form 26AS happens when the tax credit reflected in Form 26AS does not match with the actual TDS/TCS deposited by deductors or the income declared by the taxpayer.
Hereโs how to resolve the mismatch:
### Steps to resolve mismatch in Annual 26AS:
1. **Check Details Carefully**
* Verify PAN details, deductor TAN, challan details, and TDS/TCS amounts. * Sometimes mistakes in PAN/TAN or challan numbers cause mismatch.
2. **Communicate with Deductor/Collector**
* Contact the deductor (employer, client, bank, etc.) who deducted TDS or collected TCS. * Ask them to verify if the deposited TDS/TCS matches the details they have reported to the IT department. * If discrepancy is found, request the deductor to file a correction statement (TDS/TCS return correction).
3. **Correction Statement by Deductor**
* The deductor can submit a **correction statement** through the TIN-NSDL portal to rectify errors in the TDS/TCS return. * Correction statements can be filed for a particular quarter/year.
4. **Verify Updated 26AS After Correction**
* After correction filing, wait for the IT department to update Form 26AS. * It may take 1-2 weeks after correction statement filing.
5. **Filing Revised Income Tax Return (if required)**
* If mismatch is due to incorrect income or TDS reported in the original ITR, taxpayer can file a **revised return** with correct details.
6. **Dispute with Income Tax Department**
* If deductor refuses to correct or in case of complex mismatches, taxpayer can approach the Income Tax Department via:
* Online grievance portal ([https://pgportal.gov.in/](https://pgportal.gov.in/)) * Income Tax helpline or local IT office.
7. **Maintain Proper Records**
* Keep all TDS certificates (Form 16/16A), challans, payment receipts for cross-verification.

### Common reasons for mismatch:
* Deductor has not deposited TDS but issued TDS certificate. * PAN or TAN errors in TDS return. * Delay in filing or processing of TDS returns. * TCS collected but not reflected. * Income or TDS wrongly reported in ITR.
